I was just going through my RSS feeds getting caught up on everything that's been going on, and I came across Eric's rant about his web host (I love RSS; I love FooReader.NET). I remember those days, and it is one of the things I definately hated about PHP: PHP is an embedded (and essentially interpreted) language. If the web server doesn't know how to serve PHP files, then your code is there for everyone in the world to see. OSS people love it; people like me hate it.

One thing I love about .NET is I have a choice. I can go the embedded route, I can use code behinds, or I can associate pages with classes and just upload the .aspx files and binaries after compilation. I choose the last option 99% of the time. It's a pretty simple process. I keep all code files in separate directories, and I don't upload it after I compile. It's one less thing for me to worry about.

I feel your pain, bro; <chuckle /> I can laugh cause it's happened to me. It's just another reason to go .NET <grin />
