Run PHP on Apache or IIS6 on windows XP?

[RevPeter3rd]

Hi Guys,<br />
<br />
I have a website using both asp.net and PHP. The whole site is written in .NET apart from my products list, shopping cart and user registration and login which uses a piece of open source software (OSCommerce).<br />
<br />
I have been creating this website locally on XP and was wondering which of the below 2 would be the best option for me. <br />
<br />
I know I can integrate PHP with IIS 6 or I can run it using Apache. Which one would be the best for me to do and what are the pros and cons of them?<br />
<br />
My website is hosted on a Windows 2003 machine and I will will carry the same solution (IIS or Apache) across to that machine as well.<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance.<br />

Thanks for the response guys. I didn't make it to clear, but I do know that I can run both apache and IIS at the same time. But it does look like getting my php scripts to run on IIS is a better solution. Is that correct?<br />

ASP will only work on m$ software. Back to IIS with you unless you want to rewrite everything in php.

Edit Running two web servers when you can run one would just be a waste of resources. Yes, you are better off installing php with IIS.
