Transferring from Classic ASP to PHP? .NET?

Hi all…!

First off, thanks for being a great bunch, I’ve been developing web serivces for a long time but still manage to learn something new here every day.

Well, I’ve a lot of work to do - one of our main websites is huge, been running on a Windows server (2012) with IIS8 and classic ASP driven from a MySQL backend (not a fan of MSSQL), there are also a few PHP elements running alongside it (for RSS feeds / Forums etc). It’s been running perfectly through different iterations since 1997.

As we all know, Classic ASP is now getting a bit long in the tooth and is slowly dying out - hence my interest in Wappler (as it also allows deployment to mobile also etc). I’m looking to move the whole platform over to either PHP/MySQL, or .NET/MSSQL (although I’d much prefer .NET / MySQL if that’s at all possible).

Now, I’m perfectly happy coding with VBScript but the .NET environment is a bit off putting for me, PHP I’m more happy with, there’d still be a big learning curve but not as much as I feel there would be with .NET.

I do realise though that the .NET choice would be a better option for the Windows server we are on.

I’m therefore in a bit of a conundrum - Has anyone out there been in a similar situation?
