Hi, I am about to give a presentation where I'll need to bring a 'live version' of a site in my notebook. The real site runs with under linux in an apache+php4+mysql system. I do not recall any native or non-portable function used (basically sessions, cookies and mysql db access) so I was wondering if anyone could give me tips regarding using the same code under windows. In the past I've managed to install and use IIS + PHP3 in a NT4 machine but with apache I had a problem because I needed to change all posts and links to php.exe (as cgi). - Is there a way to make apache act as IIS, calling php parser everytime I finds a .php file (assuming this will make things work without rewriting all links) ? Or is it better stick with IIS (for demo only - in that case how do I get IIS for windows 2k Professional)? - Will sessions work with the cgi version of php4 ? - Are there any known issues with any of the softwares mentioned above that may lead me into trouble - remember that even tough it is a presentation it should work :) Any tips will be great!
