Hi guys,

What technology was developed first PhP or ASP?

If ASP, I guess PhP used some of ASP functionality?

Thank you!

PHP owes its begins to Perl, and according to the PHP manual, was released as v2 in 1995 and v3 in 1997

Microsoft does not provide a clear date as to when ASP was released, course you can find this quote from MS

"How does Active Server Pages compare to PERL?
PERL and other scripting languages are not robust development tools by themselves. Active Server Pages provides a familiar framework and objects for building complex applications that require data from relational databases and legacy sources."

It was PHP.

Microsoft can't think up things like ASP without leeching from an already successful idea.
