[PHP/LAMP vs. C#]
> Thank you for your help.

You can not really compare C# to PHP.

PHP is full of "historical flaws" and started as set of CGI scripts that
eventually evolved to an object oriented scripting language. But you
still see its roots and strange things because of this (e.g. how PHP
deals with literals or the non-existing naming convention of functions
etc.).

If you are familiar with PHP and it's "glitches", you may deal with it
and this may not be a problem for you.

But technically C# is often the better solution, so i would recommend
the platform mainly based on the experience of the people involved with
the project. If the team knows C# better then PHP, then stay with C# -
it's not a bad language at all and yes, you can create web applications
as well. If the team does not have any experience in efficient project
management (Scrum, Kanban etc.) and if the don't know how to do a good
software design, the choice of the programming language is not the major
problem anyway.
