Pushing Buttons

I'm often stuck working with ASP and wishing I were working with PHP. PHP has a great deal of methods available that make life a lot easier. And in ASP you find yourself writing custom functions to do something that would be trivial in a better language.

Checking to see if a value exists within an array is one example. ASP does not offer any quick or easy solution. In fact, ASP is pretty much a nightmare when it comes to working with arrays. It's usually easier to use scripting dictionaries.

In an earlier post I explained how to create a custom function in PHP to retrieve visitor browser information. The same can be done in ASP.
