As Windows uses backslashes and Unix uses frontslashes to denote directory structure, using frontslashes on a Windows PHP installation MIGHT cause problems. I say MIGHT because as far as I knew, PHP was supposed to translate these for you correctly... However, when you're using a system variable like $PATH_TRANSLATED, it most likely will only return the system-specific path (something like "/home/john/phpdir/blah.php" on Unix or "c:\users\john\phpdir\blah.php" on WinNT/2000). Although, from the looks of it, the $URL variable should come in with frontslashes, instead of backslashes.... maybe, maybe not. If you echo the $URL variable back, what does it look like?
