Comparison the processing speed between PHP and ASP.NET

Nowadays, web applications play an important role for many organizations, and there are many technologies variable in the market and each technology have its own advantage, so choosing the technologies is one important factor. This research studies of performance processing speed of two common technologies for developing web applications namely PHP and ASP.NET. These technologies run on environment as Windows operating system where ASP.NET using IIS will be compared with PHP using IIS as well as the PHP using Apache. The comparison is conducted through five approaches including webpage loading; algorithm processing; database managing; file(s) uploading and reading/writing external file(s). The results from our research demonstrate as ASP.NET is more effective than PHP in various areas such as webpage loading (1.81 times faster), external file(s) reading/writing (3.77 times faster) and Algorithm calculation (Hanoi Tower 14.74 times faster). However, PHP can operating more efficiently in some other areas such as variable datatypes exchanging (adding big numbers PHP is 6.82 times faster), database managing (PHP is 1.45 times faster) and files uploading (PHP is 1.17 times faster).
