You can certainly develop on windows all you want. Before pushing
things to a production environment that's different from your
development environment, you should really run tests in (at least) a
staging environment that is as close to production as possible. This
can easily be done on your own system using a VM. It helps a lot to
write portable applications in PHP, which is deftly simple to do in
most cases. If you do have different things you want configured on
various platforms (development, testing, staging, production, forex)
you can do that in a number of ways (setting envars, testing the
hostname, keeping a separate configuration file outside of the source
control tree, etc)
