php unix and windows?

[Yang Li Ke]

Hi guys,
What should I do to make sure a script actually working well on unix/linux
would also work on windows ?

Thanx

Normally scripts will work well on Windows which worked on Linux. Only
scripts which need external programms are difficult to port.

Off the top of my head - Pathnames would help/are important though its
been a long time since I've run Apache/PHP on a Windoze environment.

Other than path names, the only other thing I can think of might be
problems from writing a script in an Apache/PHP environment and then
hoping it runs on an IIS environment. Or, you might have various
libraries compiled in on your linux environment that are not available
to your windoze environment.

Lastly, you've not said what version of windoze - I'm sure there are
folks around here using PHP on an M$ environment that might help if you
were sharing this info with them.

Usually not much unless if your script uses *nix only functions.
For these functions, you can usually find the workaround in the user
notes (example: <http://in.php.net/getmxxr> ).

You can add such fixes in the common include file say config.php.
You may use the handly function_exists ()
<http://in.php.net/function_exists > in the workaround.
