Good:
PHP is nice it offer more possibilities out of the box than asp 3
the syntax is more natural than most "new" programming languages
It's easy to write/debug
It's lightweight
It's quite fast
Hosting/Management is cheap
Bad:
It's easy, so easy that some non programmer enter the market knowing only a little PHP and building bad apps ( I'm no graphic designer so I don't draw design )
It's not secure out of the box, it's secure but you can easily write unsafe code with it, mostly with some sql server and eval.
by today standard PHP begin to show its age, mostly when handling multi byte character format.
there is little uniformization in API that almost do the same thing so code can vary from a programmer to another one.
ok as you see most of the bad point come from bad dev practices. So ASP.NET is quite bad too, why because of the IDE visual studio is powerfull but gives bad practice to dev mostly regarding OOP programming practices.
and comparig JSP/ASP versus PHP is quite unfair from a dev point of view, one is a script language and should be considred as is, the other are compiled language with validation at compile time.
