PHP's a lot better than ASP 3.0 for sure. It's a proper OOP language, you don't need to components for file and image handling, it's not as platform dependent as ASP - the list of advantages over ASP could go on for miles.

ASP.NET is a huge step up from ASP however and application development is faster (generally speaking) than with PHP. Mind you, it's only a matter of time before PHP is integrated into a framework like Rails to make rapid app development easier, so I say learn PHP!
