Rui Carmo PHP is the [Open Source] world’s closest equivalent to Active Server Pages. The base source could be compiled on nearly any platform and there were bindings for a wide variety of HTTP servers, although it is more closely tied to Apache and Linux. I decided to stop using it a long while ago and move on, but it’s still quite popular. ### Resources
