Translation - you have a pickled walnut for a brain, and can't read.
He wrote that PHP "has much better support for the database management
system, MySQL" ... which it does. It certainly makes it "better" than
ASP.net when used in conjunction with MySQL, and that would certainly
interest people who only wish to use MySQL, since those other DBMS you
mention are both proprietary and expensive - another roadblock to
ASP.net adoption.
The only "snot" around here is the stuff oozing from your ears.

Idiot.

| Compiled Code vs. PHP Interpreted Code .NET compiles code, such as
| C#, into what its creators have termed MSIL, or Microsoft
| Intermediate Language. This roughly resembles Java's bytecode, the
| "binary" you have after you compile the source code. PHP, as an
| interpreted language, doesn't really have an equivalent here. I use
| quotes because it is different from the binary you get when
| compiling C, C++, and so on. In those cases, you compile to a
| machine language specific to your processor— essentially, coded
| instructions that only your processor can understand. A C program
| compiled on a Mac OS X compiler would produce different code from
| that same program compiled with a Linux C compiler. With bytecode,
| or MSIL, you have an executable that cannot run directly on any
| machine without a runtime environment. That is what Microsoft's
| .NET Common Language Runtime (CLR) provides. That layer would
| differ on different platforms implemented to execute those binaries
| and convert them to machine language at execution time.
|
| Saying that PHP is strictly interpreted and that ASP.NET code is
| compiled is a bit misleading, as evidenced by the common language
| runtime environment I've described. What's more, with PHP as well
| as ASP.NET pages, you can configure your respective Web servers to
| do connection pooling and caching of those pages, so they don't
| have to be recompiled each time. Inevitably, those PHP pages will
| compile into smaller pieces than the equivalent ASP.NET page,
| because there is more overhead with the intermediate compilation
| with the CLR. Ultimately, this will mean greater memory
| requirements on your Web server.

I suppose you're going to claim that /Oracle/ are spouting "clueless
bullshit" as well, are you?
What a coconut!

Take a look in the mirror, fuckwit.

And the fact that it is Free and Open Source Software, and in many cases
faster and better than ASP.net, certainly when used with MySQL.
