*HOW* is it not working?
What does the basic command do? and what did you expect it to do?

Is there an error message? A warning? A notice?
[ enable notices by issuing ]

<?php ini_set('error_ reporting', E_ALL); ?>

[ at the top of your scripts or, perhaps ]
[ better, by reconfiguring php.ini ]

I remember a long time ago when I had PHP working under IIS. Some
$_SERVER indexes available for Apache are not available for IIS (and
vice-versa); I don't remember which.

Your right that's the problem, in the meantime i discovered the phpinfo()
function call. This allows me easily to compare the different platforms.
Thanks for your tip

You can print all the variables in $_SERVER with

<?php
echo '<pre>';
print_r($_SERVE R);
echo '</pre>';
?>

for both servers, and print/compare the output.
It's easier than the output of phpinfo() :)


I also remember I ended up doing something like:

<?php // config.inc.php
if (stristr(php_sa pi_name(), 'apache') {
$DOCUMENT_ROOT = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
$OTHER_VARS = $_SERVER['OTHER_VARS'];
} else { // IIS
$DOCUMENT_ROOT = $_SERVER['ROOT_DIRECTORY ']; // probably wrong
$OTHER_VARS = $_SERVER['EXTRA_VARS'];
}
?>

and then require that file (which had more things in it) and using

$DOCUMENT_ROOT (instead of $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'])

for scripts running on apache or IIS.
