Re: Re: Handling Linux directory paths in Win32

Just a comment or thought on Jason's reply. I thought you could use '/' as the seperator and the PHP engine would figure out based on the run-time OS what the actual path format would be. Hence you can use actual path names like; E:/path1/path2/path3/somefile.php in your include and require statements. At least my code uses the '/' on these types of paths and works fine on Windows and *nix systems. IIS and Apache both.
