question on writing for IIS4/5

Hello everyone.

I personally do not have a windows machine let alone IIS.

I have written numerous scripts in PHP, I have been contracted by an independent designer to create a flat file database using Windows IIS.

My question to you is do I need to make any special changes to the fopen() fwrite() fclose() functions.

example in linux/apache I would use:

$file=fopen("./database/database.txt","a");
@fwrite($file, $output);
@fclose($file);

do I need to make changes to the directory structure as well.

Thank you
Mike

With IIS and PHP there are no real special issues with fopen(), unless you try to use a windows path.. ie c:\path, then you need to escape the \

but

f:\inetpub\wwwroot\database\
f:/inetpub/wwwroot/database
/inetpub/wwwroot/database
./database

all valid ways to write to the /database directory using IIS

Thank you for input,

is there any special permisions that need to be set.

or will:

fopen($file,"a");

work?

Mike

yes that will work as well
