RE: [PHP] Develop on Windows, Deploy on Unix

Thats exactly what I do. I run Win2k on my laptop. Mysql, php are installed I run the web server built into win2k (pws / iits), and everything works perfectly. Piece of cake to install stuff. The only problem I've had is with $DOCUMENT_ROOT being set to a dos style path "x:\", instead of "x:/" I've overcome that by setting it explicitly using a cookie to ".." (don't ask ;) ) Then my code is transparent between local and remote. I use ftp express for uploading, editplus for php editing - great software, supports double byte characters, and php color highlighting, and putty for ssh telnet client. FTP Express: www.intellisys-mn.com Editplus: www.editplus.com Putty: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ Mysql: www.mysql.com ;) Mysql ODBC Drivers (installation instructions and usage) http://www.iserver.com/support/addonhelp/database/mysql/odbc/ php: www.php.net (doh!)

If you are using Windows 95/98 you might have a problem with references to files. \\mydir\\myfile.txt is the only valid vay. On Windows NT/2000 and Unix/Linux you can use /mydir/myfile.txt. - Frank >Is PHP cross-platform enough to successfully develop on Windows and deploy >on a linux server?
