need help with server change.

$server_root = "D:\X\freeimghost.us\httpdocs";

Simple server change... but i am going from a linux-based to a window-based because it was cheaper. This path is the problem.

It wont work. It comes up with a T_STRING error from the config file.

I need a solution somehow. I am slightly confused because i am used to linux-based web enviroment.

Can someone suggest or give me a solution?

maybe your are using the wrong path.

Upload the attached file to your server and run it from your browser.

It will give you the right location.

 

I am just doing what my host says.

i tryed to change all the \ to %5C which is why there is no error until you upload.

php cant cope with backward slashs, which is why i need help.

D:\X\FreeImgHost.us\httpdocs\path_locator.asp

Anyway, that is what it says in the file.

try using single quotes instead of double, it's possible that php is trying to parse them as escaping characters.

another thing to try is to use slash instead of backslash, e.g e:/myfile/pictures

 

Windows uses backslashs which is the exact problem here. I moved from linux to windows without knowing it until i have already paid for 2 months up front.

$server_root = "D:\X\freeimghost.us\httpdocs";

That is the current code

Do i change it to this?

$server_root = "D:'\'X'\'freeimghost.us'\'httpdocs";
