PHP5 on IIS6 - include problem?

[alimac]

I have been painfully migrating a site from Linux/Apache/PHP4.3 to Windows/IIS6/PHP5

So without the know-how to set up an IDE I am a bit stuck in working out what is going wrong here.

I was experiencing some nested include issues where an include by an included file was not including - the only solution was to paste the code directly into the included file (not ideal at all) - but that got it working.

Now I am faced with a form submission that hangs indefinitely and corrupts the session ( I say this because if I stop the request I am unable to navigate elsewhere on the site unless I clear out the saved session and cookies - everything hangs and no requests are logged by firebug for a click on the site) - the form submits to a processing script that includes quite a few classes (database, session, form, mailer) that in turn include a couple of files (constants) - if these includes were failing could it hang like this?

Any advice will probably save my sanity....

I think we really need more information to help you here. Unless it's some sort of permissions problem (hey, it's Windows + IIS, so we can't rule this out!), I don't see why including files would be broken simply because you moved to a different OS.

Could it perhaps be a file path issue? How are the files included - by relative paths (e.g. "../../config.php") or absolute? Do they depend on $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] and, if so, have you double checked that the value for this variable is correct?

Do you have error_reporting set to E_ALL and log_errors enabled, so that you can log anything going wrong with your PHP scripts?
