Oracle has done something like this, and recommend PHP. As much as I like Oracle, though, it's really a pretty biased comparison.
The main difference is that ASP.NET is the "Microsoft way" of doing things, and PHP is the open source route. If you have people with experience in VB, or other Microsoft development, then ASP is the answer, because their skills carry over directly. That would be me. I've written Windows software for years, that communicates with a database on behalf of the user; I'm doing the same thing now, only with web controls instead of Windows controls. I'm able to re-use the vast majority of my code ( C# class libraries ) in whatever type of project I'm currently working on.
To me, that's a strong advantage. I've managed to cut the learning curve down to almost nothing. Note that my analysis is fairly biased, too. I don't use PHP, so I can't tell you how good it is...
