Coding For Windows To Upload To Linux
I'm trying to remember what code I had that would work on a Linux server but not on my apache php mysql install on a Windows machine.
Does anyone know of instances of this? Someone I know doesn't believe that this is the case because they believe that php is truly cross platform. I realize that for most code it does work on Windows and Linux but I think there are exceptions that need to be noted.

Linux Or Windows
i am an experienced php programmer with almost a dozen sites to my credit, of late i've gotten onto 'c' programming on Linux and also a little bit of GUI coding using GTK+... as we all know, microsoft is in the process of releasing its .NET software, having a look at these white papers will make even the most hardcore linux enthusiast sit up and take notice..man....they are coming out with good products..... Combine this with the ease with which one may generate apps in VB..god will microsoft win finally ?? I mean that whats the scope left for Linux programmers if Microsoft is the next big thing in internet computinfg ??? also are there any Linux companies that will be able to combat this juggernaut ?? Please giv me valuable comments...is it an unwise thing to get into Linux programming when VB and VC++ would be a better option ?? Lets all not be gung-hoin our love for linux...but lets ask ourselves whats the better option ??? Well...i luv linux too but if Windows could earn me bucket loads of money...why not switch to that ??

Windows PHP VS LINUX PHP ?
My code works fine on linux, but if i switched to windows, it messes up. I see some error messages, all msgs have something to do with undefined constant. I use Apace 1.3.14, php 4.0.6 loaded as module, and I think my mysql is 3.22.21, I'm not quiet sure. Running WindowsME.

Difference Between PHP On Windows And Linux
I just got promoted at work from sales to web developer. We have a ton of projects planned including a new CRM from which a lot of our internal tools will be based. My boss despises Microsoft and we primarily use Corel Office products including Paradox for our current CRM. He's been developing in it for years and can make it dance. However, it is straining under the current load and it is clear that its life expectancy is quickly coming to an end. We will be phasing that out as we build web-based tools but it will be around for a while in some capacity as our migration away from it will be a gradual one. For a while I'm sure the two will be used in tandom as we continue to develop our infrastructure and transfer functionality from it to a new CRM. I will be developing in PHP/MySQL. I also will be using some Perl for cron jobs and other tasks. There will be a lot client-side programming (shouldn't be a factor for this discussion) but all of the apps we have planned will be database driven and there will be over 1 million records (probably closer to 1.25 million) when we actually deploy our tools. Anyway, I was debating which platform I should use to build our tools on as my boss prefers Windows as he is completely Linux clueless. However, I have only ever developed on Linux/Unix platforms. Whatever I chose now will affect everything I build from here on out so I want to make the right choice the first time. So my questions are as follows: 1) What are the main differences running PHP (and MySQL for that matter) on Windows versus Linux? Any benefits or pitfalls? Missing functionality? 2) Should I install Apache or use IIS? 3) Our CRM will be generating a ton of documents which will need to be printed. Is this easier on Windows or Linux? I've heard that a lot of developers use Crystal Reports to generate documents. We do have Version 9 if that matters (although I am aware it only works on Windows). I also have little idea how printing is done so any input on that would be wonderful. 4) What would you chose and why?

Includes On Linux And Windows
I have a program that performs an include("/home/xyz/includes/common.php"); I do this so the include file (which contains database login information) is outside of the web root directory and (hopefully) invisible to anyone who might get into the website. On my home PC running XP and Apache, my PHP.ini include_path is set to ".;d:xamppincludes" and under this directory I have the directories "homexyzincludes". This worked fine when running on my old system using PHP 4.2.2. I recently upgraded to the latest version of Xampp running PHP 5.0.5 and I now cannot access the include files on my XP system. If I change the include to remove the leading "/", it works fine - but will not work on Linux. I understand that this used to work on older version of Win32 PHP but has been changed. Is there a way to issue an include that will work on both Linux and XP under the more recent versions of PHP?

Specifying Paths In Linux/Windows

Portability Of From Windows To Linux
I am new to the open source environment. We have to develop a web application using Apache/PHP/MySQL on Windows (A component that we want to use is available only on Windows for now). Later when the component is available on Linux, we would like to move the code. The web application is a simple one - collects data, does some simple validations and stores in the database. I would like to know how portable the code will be. Do we need to rewrite a lot of code when we move from Windows to Linux? What are the issues I need to be aware of?

Scripting In Linux, Development In Windows...
This isn't really a major question but I wanted someone else's view on this. I do web developement and find it a lot easier to do the designing part (colors, graphics, layout) on a windows box and to do my scripting (php,MySql) on my linux box. Now, this can be rather annoying due to booting every time I want to create a new layout since my primary OS is linux. Well, I just wanted to see what other people had to say about this.

Timestamp Insert Issue: Windows / Linux
The DBMS can optimise for COUNT(*) in ways that it can't for COUNT(<field>) - it doesn't need to look at any fields, for example (and so uses fewer resources). If my table has a field named id that is primary and auto incrementing in MySQL, it is still better to use COUNT(*) instead of COUNT(id)? Do you also believe this is true when using SELECT (SELECT * instead of SELECT id, name)?

File Upload Mac Os X Fine, Windows Xp Not ?
I've written a simple CMS (the file upload is handled by code I found here) for a site I'm working on and I thought everything was working ok until I tested it on a pc. I always get the same error on the pc which is something I wrote so that only normal jpg's would be uploaded, not progressive jpgs (this is because the site has a flash front end and flash can't load in progressive jpg's dynamically). I added some more error checking in the php file, and a very strange thing is occuring. I have tried uploading the EXACT same jpg from both my mac and pc, on the mac it uploads fine, resizes etc etc but on the pc it doesn't and in my error message it says that the file is a 'image/pjpeg'? Does a pc think a normal jpg is a prgressive jpg ??? How can the jpg change file types? this is really weird!

Pre-coding
I need some advice on feasability etc on using PHP (MySQL backend) for a little project that I have in my mind. I'm new to PHP, but not programming (thank God!) - so barring syntax, logic should be fine (I hope), but I'm unsure if PHP has the ability to do what I need (told you I was a newbie eh?? ) The project .... Simply put, the idea is for a series of drop down boxes to kinda act as a "filter"for data in the records in a mysql db. Ie, lets say for example that my db contains info about cars, with the columns, Make, Model, CC, Colour etc etc. Initially the user would see (in the above example), 4 drop down boxes, each with data pulled from the db relevant to their column id. The pulling of data I dont have a problem with - thats sorted. However, in the brief coding exercises I've done, its the ability to have a user choose any of the four drop boxes, and all the other 3 dropdown boxes data be ammended ? Am I explaining this well ? Lets say that I choose 'Red' from the Colour drop down - then the drop down box for Make should change to only be Makes where colour = red, Model should also change to where colour = red etc etc etc ? With me here ? At any point the user will have the ability to 'go' their selection - and all the records are displayed for the user. Am I wanting too much here from PHP? I've been told JScript would do what I need (better than PHP?????) but frankly I dont have the time to start learning another lang, so if this can be done in PHP I'd be happy.

With Coding
I have need for a simple system in a Virtual Airline in which users can file flight reports. I use Whole Hog's free password protection. When filing the report the users will have to be logged in. They will file their pilot ID and time of flight and a few other bits and pieces like from where to where and extra notes. I need something to save each one to a database, maybe MySQL. Then there is a roster page, which then displays how many hours each pilot has. What I want to happen is for when the pilot files the report, the hours are added to what he has already. In the pilots page, I would then like there to be a box showing recent flights. I was wondering if anyone could give some script to me?
