note 78217 added to install.windows.manual

I find the syntax for paths hard to understand when using windows. When I look at phpinfo() results then I get following information regarding FILESYSTEM paths: - Loaded Configuration File C:\wamp\Apache2\bin\php.ini - error_log c:/wamp/logs/php_error.log - extension_dir c:/wamp/php/ext/ - include_path .;c:\wamp\php\pear - upload_tmp_dir c:/wamp/tmp - doc_root C:/wamp/www In php.ini there's the same mess regarding filesystem path syntax. I understand that URL's are encoded always with "/". But when formatting a path related to the filesystem then the syntax should be standardized, e.g. everywhere slash or everywhere backslash. Where is the info for each directive related to filesystem paths mentioning Windows users: now use slash or now use backslash? ---- Server IP: 193.190.198.20 Probable Submitter: 87.65.88.120 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.manual.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/78217 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78217/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78217/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78217/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78217/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78217/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78217/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78217 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/78217 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
