Something PHP cannot do that ASP.net can?

Hi

The other day I was having a debate with one of my friend on the topic "ASP.net v/s PHP".

He said that ASP.net can interact with the OS and the hardware but PHP cannot. Is this true? Is this PHP's limitation that it cannot interact with the OS or the hardware??

Please if anyone can throw some light on this?


Many Thanks


*PS: Here were are referring Windows as the OS.

 

PHP can execute any OS command that ASP can.

 

false......tell him that////////is asp work on linux??????

 

There are a couple of programs out there that can run ASP on Linux. But, it won't be as stable as doing it from Windows.
