1. I've developed a windows application in C#, SQL 2005 & Linq for 4 months.
2. I've developed a web application in ASP.Net, C#, SQL 2005 & Linq, CSS for 5 months

Now due to a lack of projects they are shifting me to PHP development.
Is it good for my career to continue with PHP.

Please give me you opinions on this.

Thanks in Advance!

Depends on your contract. You can always try to work in PHP, and if it is not what you want, switch (if that is possible at your place!) But as they are lacking projects, I'd take every job possible. You need a job to eat. Extra knowledge is always good for your career!

Choosing a career is a matter of personal decision. No one should choose a career for you, because you have to be prepared psychologically and emotionally before changing. PHP and .NET are two different technologies, which are only related in that they are both programming fields. As a programmer, with vast knowledge in programming languages, I'd not consider this a shift in career but a change of interests. Since The world of Information Technology is dynamic, you should be prepared for anything, and I'd advice you to weigh your options. Look at it in how you will benefit in the long run, and not which is better, because you cannot compare either. For instance, Facebook is successful yet it has been developed in PHP, and Microsoft itself uses its own technologies for it's success.
