Generally, PHP code is portable with zero rewrites, unless OS-specific
extensions are used. For example, shared memory and semaphores are not
available on Windows, while COM is available only on Windows. So an
application relying on shared memory or semaphores will not work under
Windows, while an application using COM will work only on Windows.
Check the documentation for extensions you are using for any
OS-specific
notes.
