why do most web hosting services use PHP? why don’t they support ASP and MS Access?
Because MS is the suckser0st!
Access is just a database, you can use PHP to connect to an access database.
Because mysql is a free and simple alternative to Access, and PHP is an easier (and better) alternative to ASP. 
lol…I didn’t know that
is MySQL same as Access? Is it tough to learn?
also I use ASP about 1 year now, should I learn PHP?
and, most of multiplayer games on the net use Java instead of ASP or PHP, why?
thanks!
Talk about coincidence:
:lol:
MySQL uses the standard sql connections, and is very easy to learn. and yes, you should definitely learn PHP.
I think you mean they use a java applet for their front end. That’s different than php/asp, as both of those are server side, and therefore could not act as a game.
no, what I mean is using Flash as client-side, and Java as server-side, like in this tutorial:

most of peoples use Flash+Java instead of ASP or PHP to create chatroom, why?
It’s more powerful. It’s used for bigger applications, as it scales better.
what’s the difference between the Java code and JSP(only in this exemple)?
JSP is comparable to PHP, it’s a server-side language. In this case they are running Java as an application, which is like a server (Apache), but on a much smaller scale.
Learn PHP, it’s good for your health. You can use PHP to build a socket server instead of Java. It is easier to maintain, and many webhosts will support it.
:lol:I think PHP should adopt that as their new slogan.
:lol: Aye, I too…
FTW!
