Why PHP over ASP ???
On Server: ASP runs only in windows ( can also run on Linux but not supported by many host and not so compatible), while php runs on both Linux and windows server.
On Database: ASP supports all databases but its best run with access and ms sql but it doesn't runs well with mysql, you may get problems on paging . PHP runs best with mysql, and also support mssql.
In Programming: With php you can also easily work on server related programming like dns, meta data e.t.c but in asp its very hard to work on server side manipulation and you need special permission to do that from admin. Typically the same functionality can be accomplished in less code with PHP than with ASP. This is because the HTTP GET and POST variables are created automatically by PHP as global variables, thus eliminating the step of extracting them from the ASP Request object.
.
Most important Cost: Many add-ons for php are free (if hosted on Linux). but with asp you need to pay for almost everything like mail component, ftp component, image upload component e.t.c
