The only reason that I have to use IIS (and Windows, for that matter) is
because I'm slowly but surely converting a largish site from ASP/VBScript
to PHP, and I may have to go live before the entire site is
converted. Otherwise I'd be doing this on Apache/Linux.
Thanks for the info!

I'm currently using PHP 4.1.0 and ISAPI module under IIS 5.0, W2K Server and
I have no problem.
Some differences between ISAPI and CGI, ISAPI doesn't recognize
$REMOTE_USER. I use the new $_SERVER["REMOTE_USER"] instead. It works !

Couple of ideas from my (admittedly limited) experience:
On my test machine (NT/IIS 4.0) PHP running as an ISAPI dll had the odd
tendency to sometimes crash when starting the service, and sometimes would
delete the php.ini file when this happened. I'd make a change, see that it
didn't take effect, look for the php.ini, and it'd be gone. Needless to
say I got in a habit of creating a backup everytime I made a change.
Probably I'd try what I like to call a "sanity check". Make a change to
one of the settings in php.ini (say, set session.use_cookies to 0), restart
the server, then use the <?phpinfo()?> function to see if the change
actually registered. If it didn't, then the server is still not reading
your php.ini for some reason.
What is the module that you are trying to use?

You have to let the 'losers' of games confirm the (lost) matches.
Its up to you how to do that.
Maybe sent the loser an email with some confirmationcode that is
created when the winner enters the result. So when the winner enters
the result, a random string is saved in a table with the match, and
you sent the loser an email with an URL like:
===
WinnerName has submitted the result of a game.
According to winner, the score was:
WinnerName: 45
You: 42
Please confirm this result by going to:
http://madden.williamsen.net/confirmgame.php?gameid=43&confirmcode=SAD232
If the score was different, please enter the correct result at:
http://madden.williamsen.net/otherresult.php?gameid=43
If you have never played against WinnerName, please go to:
http://madden.williamsen.net/wehavesomesuckers.php?name1=WinnerName&name2=YouName
===
This way, losers only have to click a link to confirm a lost game. Of
course, the confirmation-code must not be sent to the winner of the
game...
Good luck,
Hace
