I write in both PHP and asp.net now.

I took on a PHP project after not writing a line of PHP code in 6 years.

I like asp.net better, more control over what you can do. Teaches you better discipline and practices in writing good solid valid code. Working with strings is easier, because you can read files in one format, and convert it to another. I think good ASP.Net Programmers are better in the long run than PHP script writers.

So funny, I'm writing PHP right now at the moment. Picking PHP back up was pretty easy. PHP is a lot different, You write code to get data, manipulate data and test against operators, and then literally echo or spit out HTML.

In my opinion,

one of the pros to PHP is that there are more PHP jobs out there in my area to make money from than ASP.Net jobs. Nobody uses ASP.net where I live. The PHP jobs are very easy, because so many PHP people in my area think there really good, but lack the discipline or knowledge of how to encode and decode strings. Don't know what UTF-8 is, Unicode versus char character sets and so forth, The list goes on and on.

Seems like you can do things faster in PHP because it's so forgiving. But don't get stuck in the MySQL world or LAMP environment.

I really don't have a suggestion for you at the moment, and I'm not really that partial to one or the other anymore, 4 years ago yes I was to asp.net.

I think learning C++ actually made me a better programer for both PHP and ASP.Net. Regardless of which one you choose, it will take some time to really get good at it!

[update]

I agree with Ryan, the post above, and learn both at the same time. This way you can take advantage of more jobs that come up in your area. I think taking a side road by learning c++ and writing a Win32 app will propel you forward faster towards PHP and Asp.Net. It will teach you that you have to measure the size of everything, and to not waste resources like memory. Once you see how hard c++ is, writing the others will be easy.
