Fixes in 0.70 unexpectedly made OSP Windows compatable again

Due to some bug testing and high-level error report we have never done before, certain coding problems that Windows had have been fixed. As of yet Windows-based server development is continued. If we run into this problem again we know certain ways of fixing it, but we do not know if these fixes are temporary or not.

Up until 6/22/04, OutSide Photos has strived to be as Platform Independent as possible. With as few differences between operating systems as possible. But with the increasing complexity of the code, it seems that the problems of a long known bug in PHP for Windows is growing more and more prevalent. PHP made great strides in PHP 4.3.6 to help the bug, but it did not solve the issue. So due to the very high maintenance that is required to write around this bug, we are forced to claim this program as not fit for use on Windows servers. If you wish to witness the issue first hand, you can download the OSP project and host it on a Windows server. As soon as you login as admin, the preprocessing of the page should halt (on Internet Explorer nothing will show until you hit stop, on Mozilla it will display all the code it receives, and stop midway down the page).

The PHP team (www.php.net) has told me via email and bug reports that they are working on the problem, but do not see a PHP4 fix in the very near future. Possibly PHP5 will have some answers.

We are declaring this project as non-Windows compatible past version 0.68. This release will be available for download with security and minor cosmetic updates only. This status will keep, until a usable solution or alternative is found.
