i looking forward to develop an online booking system, such as ticketing booking system, car rental system or hotel booking system...

i have a bit of XHTML, XML, asp.net, vb.net, java, ColfFusion, etc experience... i'm looking toward to write a stable and easy maintainable web site for this... i saw a few websites using PHP... do PHP give better support for database, plus hiding the code from users, and can easily automate all the modification (add, delete, change the current record) so that the layout can be as expected?

I have no experience in PHP before, but i'm willing to learn anything to have a good website. any ideas which one is better? Hope somebody can give more explanation on this or maybe further breakdown the points... many thanks

let just assume it is not for college assignment... are you all sure that asp or jsp can hide the code from users ha? i mean when i open up the 'View > Source> from the toolbar, i dont want to show the underlying coding.. the user can only see the normal HTML tag...

rukawa: since you have experience in asp and jsp, which one you think more suitable for, let's say commercial use? Can it handle a lot of querry? high transaction at a given moment?

Sheeeng: we meet again here... what is the adv of using C# or VB?

shinchan: what you mean last timeyou use c#, now no more? why? no good ha? need some opinion... classification...

thanks ha all...

ok ok... what you all means PHP is free? why others is not free? dont understand ler...

ya.... pirated is not the right things to do... sorry... before this i'm used to play with pirated software, and never think of any charge incurred.... hahaha... at least now if i'm going to do anything in professional way, then i need to respect peoples' software before expecting people to respect mine!

ok... my friend said jsp is better support and more powerful than PHP, any ideas on this? i'm not writting a web page very powerful... just consider that i'm gonna write something like lowyat forum, dealing with a lot of different different querry and to be displayed in different different layout, depending on the way user want it to... and i also hope that in the future, i can easily maintain the web site in case i wanna add in new features, different layout but same data, etc....

everything going to start around end of Feb...

thanks for the useful advice...

anybody experiences in using C#? i heard that C# is an OOP, hard to code, but easier to maintain... what about PHP, is it OOP also? JSP and ASP leh?

i'm going to write something that might seem small at the beginning, but i will put in a lot of considerations so that it can be extent easily in the future... My friend told me that using OOP, you can easily add in additional features, etc... is that right?

ok... then PHP leh? is it OOP?

is that really much different between JSP and Java ha?
