Autoloading with a lot of possible include paths. I'm sure if you had a Zend Framework App and put it on Windows, and took out all the require_onces with paths in them and instead added all those folders to the include path, you would see what I mean. However, on Linux it would fly. Not that it matters to me, since I parse all our files and find a dependancy tree and merge them before deploying to a webfarm. (I do parsing / combining of CSS also, but need to keep a distance vector when compressing them, otherwise the order of some rules shifts too much when combined... hmm... guess what I am working on today?) -Ru PS: The http://windows.php.net/downloads.php site *looks* good too... :)
