Now, of course, I didn't mean that the world (generalization) was a Windows one, but just my local world. I am working towards some things that will allow the transition to open source platforms to be smoother, starting with the web servers and web application servers. Migration to PHP and Apache will take place first. I am stuck with MS-SQL Server for the primary database for the immediate future. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] It's A Windows World
I've used PHP on Windows systems quite a bit and have had very little problem. But then again, many times it's been for small projects that didn't have a chance to develop any nasty 'gotchas'. First thing that comes to mind to investigate further, though, is Zend's WinEnabler product. Even if you don't purchase it, Zend obviously thought there was enough 'gotcha' potential in PHP to warrent creating a product to help fix it (just not for free): http://www.zend.com/store/products/zend-win-enabler.php Another thing that may or may not be useful, but since it's Windows specific (and because I think Rubem has done a FANTASTIC job with it and it deserves promotion and support) is Winbinder (http://www.winbinder.com/). It allows you to use standard Windows API and GUI functions with PHP. So if you ever had to write a local app and didn't feel like using C++ or VB or whatever, and you (obviously) already have solid PHP knowledge, this can be a real godsend.
