If you switch from Windows to Linux it's unlikely that you'll have to recode anything - but you might.

For example, Windows recognises \ and / as a path separator but (I think) you'd have to change any backslashes to forward slashes for Linux.

There's a minor issue with the fopen() function - see: http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/function.fopen.php

AFAIK, differences are all pretty minor stuff like this relating to file systems - as you'd expect really. The php manual and user comments are worth a read (user comments may not always be correct, although the bad posts are usually picked up by someone).

paths in posix are all /

ulike windows, you only need \n not \r\n but it'll honor that. umm... you can modify it to accept \ but otherwise it's only beneficial, the environment has no inherint memory leaks

Anyone else got some info on cross-platform issues? Might be good to build a definitive tutorial from this thread.
