I've heard that PHP is better than ASP from a lot of people, but I've also read that ASP is better than PHP, overall. I've always assumed PHP was better mainly because it's more popular, but I could be wrong.

ASP seems way to hard compared to the simplistic style of PHP. Most web servers support PHP but not all support ASP.

I wouldn't know what to say, as I've never even seen how ASP code looked. I thought servers supported all programming languages, but I guess I was wrong.

The biggest thing to remember about asp is that it is generally restricted to the realm of windows servers. While there have been applications made to allow asp to run in linux (chilisoft comes to mind), my limited experience with trying to run asp on a linux machine showed it to be, shall we say... a less than ideal setup.
Asp on windows works great. PHP on windows works great. PHP on linux works great. Most web servers run on linux. That in itself has made PHP the more popular choice.
As far as coding asp vs. php goes - I started out using asp. Once I started learning php back in 2001, I quickly made the switch. PHP seemed much easier and more flexible to me. I haven't touched asp since.

WebScott said it well. On all points I agree.
I have noticed that PHP often fails on Windows and the service needs to be restarted though. ASP on Linux doesn't work well at all.

I guess that's another downside. What about on Macs? How does PHP and ASP work on them?

On the plus side, there are a lot less skilled ASP programmers than PHP, therefore can command higher fees, I chose ASP between the 2 and have never looked back
