I've personally been using a lot of Asp.net lately (along with CSS for custom object styles etc)... but I've just been thinking, a lot of things in asp.net are easier to do than in .php and essentially asp.net is capable of a lot of stuff (essentially giving you the power of applications on the web).
Is there any advantage of php over asp.net?

Can be used on both windows and unix servers.
Not clued up on web technologies that much, but as far as Im aware ASP can only be used on Windows servers.

Yeh, ASP is a Microsoft only technology. The NET framework is also Microsoft only, so you're a little limited on deployment options.
PHP is open source and works on any server system.

Infact strangely I was looking at a ruby page just before I opened this

If you ask me that's a bit of a rubbish advantage, IMO there is no big deal with using Windows servers.
I also think that ASP.Net is far superior, for starters it has a fantastic integrated development environment. I develop enterprise scale web applications and I have never seen php used in this industry. It is almost always ASP.Net (sometimes J2EE Tim  ).
I think people that rave on about PHP being better either can't get to grips with ASP.Net/C# or can't afford the IDE

Biggest advantage of PHP is that it's free.
