Of course, I've since learned that the Windows PHP version tends to interpret things a little different than our Linux box, so I've never had to port anything to the Windows platform -- it's all been custom...
Well I'm newbie in PHP (not in programming though ), and I'm working both under Win and Unix boxes (dbeug web-appliction on my Win pc with IIS than pu to Unix with Apache). And frankly speaking I haven't found a big difference between working PHP interpreter under both systems. It seems even differneces I see related to differencies in php.ini.
And yes I wrote my own template and site engine as well - probably it's unavoidable. I've found a lot of stuff at PHP-classes. Some of them look very good, as Metabase for example. But in most of cases it seems to be faster to write own code...
Btw, I now use PostgreSQL with PHP - it works smoothly, without any problems (the only problem was to port it under Win, but I did it). It is defenitely more powerful than mySQL... but for my limited tasks (simple selects) I have no differences at all. If you aren't going use triggers, procrdures and other advanced stuff - IMHO no matter which one do you use.
