Maybe, I just remembered that warning and actually I can't find such one in PHP manual/installation notes. Does the same apply to MySQL? >> >> Can you help me?

What kind of application do you intend write in php. One of the reasons I (we) don't want to move to Windows and IIS is that person being administrator of that box knows less than he thinks he knows ;) and surely server is not well configured and protected.. Beside that site now works on Linux server without any problems and moving it will cause only pointless work. But moving to IIS is decision made by someone "above" me so without good reasons against I can't stop that. And believe me - there is really no need to move to IIS.
