Are there any issues I should be aware of when creating PHP scripts to run on a windows server? It has PHP installed. thx,
I use PHP on windows as a test bed and for development for my Linux boxes. I have not encountered any issues in a WAMP environment -- Windows-Apache-MySql-PHP/Perl. There may be some unix specific things that cannot be done on windows, but I have not yet encountered a situation where I needed to use any operating system specific functionality. It is therefore possible that you will encounter a third party script which will not work under Windows, but that is pretty rare. PHP can work with IIS and Microsoft has a project -- phalanger -- which allows you to compile PHP scripts to work under .NET But most people would recommend going the IIS route if you want to use .NET and otherwise go the WAMP route and ignore .NET
