Functionally, they are equivalent. Everything you can do with ASP (*.asp files) or ASP.Net (*.aspx files), you can do with PHP and vice versa.
The choice of scripting language should be the last decision you make; first, you need to decide on what operating system you want to deploy and what database server you are going to use in production.
If you want to deploy SQL Server on Windows, you should consider ASP or ASP.Net for a front end, especially if SQL Server and IIS are going to be running on the same physical machine. You will need to buy an SQL Server license (starts at $3,899) and Windows Server license(s) (starts at $999). Obviously, these prices only apply if you deploy on your own hardware; if you host, only hosting fees will apply.
If you want to deploy MySQL on Linux or BSD, you will be much better off with PHP (ASP can run on those operating systems, but additional software will be required), regardless of whether MySQL and Apache run on the same machine or not. Since MySQL, Linux, BSD, and Apache are all free software, you won't have to spend a dime on licenses. So if you are on a tight budget, PHP is definitely for you.
If you want to deploy on Oracle, both PHP and ASP(.Net) will do a decent job on the front end.
