Moving from Linux to Windows

mrgrammar

I have a client who has had me developing php for his web site with a mysql database. He has decided he wants to run on Windows instead.

Will the programming that I have done automatically run on a windows server? What do I need to be aware of?

well can you be more specific as if your client plans to switch to windows only server php will not work you will have to switch to phlanger witch is a msil compliant. your database vendor is not much or a matter but i know windows has high support for ADO and LINQ but i'am sure the majority could work.

Any chance you can clarify what this statement is supposed to mean? PHP works fine on Windows, as does MySQL.

EDIT: And no, there isn't going to be any difference in the code between Linux and Windows - the only differences would appear during the installation of PHP/MySQL on Linux vs. Windows.
