[RESOLVED] Different between ASP, PHP and JSP

[Kevin1991]

Can you all tell me what is the different between ASP, PHP and JSP?

Actually I don't know the basic syntax for ASP, JSP and PHP(Waht I know is only javascript).

Are there any format can be done using Javascript?

Also, how to make a SQL database and preview my PHP page?

I want to learn it now and post it here if you have great links for help files or websites.

PHP is a very simple language developed for and focused on server-side programming. It works in most major web servers with the appropriate extension.

ASP is a way of enabling server-side programming for MS IIS, using the equivalent of the Windows Scripting Host engine plus a range of ActiveX components to provide a server environment. A range of languages can be used with it, typically VBScript or JScript. ASP is now deprecated technology; there is no support by Microsoft anymore.

Its successor is ASP.Net, a proper server-side framework completely embedded in the .Net framework, allowing for use of all .Net-capable languages to do the server-side programming.

JSP is a part of the Java server technologies that enables PHP-like usage of Java embedded in markup, and more powerful techniques by the use of custom tags and the expression language. JSP is part of a larger range of technologies including Servlets as the most basic building block, JSP for output, Java Server Faces to provide a client application-like environment, and many more technologies that can be variously combined.
