Re: Portability of PHP from windows to Linux

Following on from seth's message. . . 
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?
Not a big issue, in fact I would say just the same as going from one version of something to another: There might be odd niggles which cause frustration but nothing to cause you to do any serious rewrites. You'll just find that something that worked fails possibly with an error and is fixed by trivial tweak to paths, filenames and permissions. This might be due to different versions of PHP, mySQL, Apache and sillynesses with config files.

Bottom line is assume it will work as-is but be prepared for some tweaks.
