Firstly Sebastian I would try to find out his reasoning for it - there may be something that you don't know. ie, does he have something else that he wishes to run on the same server that will only run under a Windows box? > I know that PHP under windows is intended to be used only as test > platform, but this is not enough to convince him. I disagree with you on this :) Although I generally push for Linux wherever I can, the reality is that many clients do run Windows exclusively for internal operations and don't have the in-house capability to manage Linux boxes. We have quite a number of installations that run fine under Windows. > Can you help me?

I've already found that IIS doesn't provide > $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] but it's not too much work to fix that.. I'd suggest trying to work with the guy rather than against him. Find out his reasoning and then this way you can look at the positive and negative aspects of what he is trying to do. I know that this isn't the answer that you were expecting, but it's the approach that I would take Adrian sourceguardian.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
