Help with ASP

**Crzymdget101** · 05-21-2006, 08:41 AM

I need help, i have a humor site and it has videos, games, animations and stuff. So far i have made the site all out of static pages that get linked together, but as the site grows i wont be able to link them up anymore. So i would like to make a defualt page so if someone clicks on a video link, the page is always the same just the video is different.

Can anyone help me with the code or something. Any insight would be a help. Thanks

Not a trivial task to create from scratch. you are probably not going to get this as a freebie.

Do you know any asp code?

no but i am trying to learn through tutorials and suck, but im getting the feeling that it has to be taught. But just for curiosity... how much would it cost to have someone right a code for me???

That depends who you ask. Some kid in India might do it dirt cheap, whereas some multinational corporation might charge you through the... err... teeth.

That's a "how long is a piece of string" question

It would really depend on so many things, not least of which are Minaki's points

it's one of these projects where you would need to have a project schema laid out to cost against and maybe hire someone to code the bare bones scripts and you could then take the source and extend it yourself.

ok, well which should i use for forms ASP or PHP. I may be in the completely wrong forum.... which one would be easier for a rookie like me to set up and use

**chrishirst** · 05-23-2006, 07:42 PM

it really depends on what your host supports

**Crzymdget101** · 05-23-2006, 08:51 PM

My host is Go-Daddy, I know for a fact that it supports ASP and i would assume that it supports PHP, So which one in your eyes is better.

In my eyes, ASP.NET is by far the best, but everyone has different needs and personal preferences. (fyi, ASP.NET is like, the next version of ASP - ASP is old hat now and there's not a great del of point in learning it any more).

Your best bet is to look at and try out the two and make the desicion yourself. Check out www.asp.net and www.php.net

(There are other server side languages you can use, such as Perl and ISAPI, but ASP, ASP.NET and PHP are by far the most widely used so you're more likely to get help on those ones.)
