Heya ppl
I can only refer to foobar as the German word 'furchtbar' that sounds
quite similar when spoken, and an untrained tounge might as well say
'foobar'.
Just an idea.

That's a very good possibility!
Now, uh, for us non-German speakers, what is "furchtbar?"

A good place to look up origins of these kind of words is
http://catb.org/~esr/jargon/jargon.html. You will find some detailed
information on "foo" "bar" "foobar" and many others. BTW, furchtbar means
terrible.

I saw somewhere a statement to " F*?d up Beyond All Repair "
Don't have a clue wether it's true or not, but is funny how it matches ...

God, I take it you people didn't watch tv in the 90's?
foobar - the descriptive pronunciation of fubar - an ancronym for Fucked up
beyond all recognition. See Tango and Cash and assorted bad late 80's and
early 90's tv. Tango and Cash was probably the most famous usage of it in
main stream media.

Hello.
I am in the process of migrating from a Win2000+ASP+MSSQL Server 2000 web
environment to a Win2000+PHP+MSSQL Server environment.
I would like to know of any negative aspects, concerns and performance
issues which come with using PHP in the above configuaration.
I am specifically interested if PHP will be able to support the following
functionality under Windows:
1. Session Handling.
2. MSSQL Server access / ODBC access to MySQL server.
3. E-mail sending functionality.
4. DOM XML parser.
5. Active Directory Access.
I am also interested what is the better(more stable, efficient) solution to
run PHP for WIN2000:
1. CGI for IIS
2. ISAPI for IIS
3. Module for Apache 2.0.
Also, are there any problem connected with running PHP with IIS together
with ASP and ASP.NET on the same host?
I would appreciate any answer or useful link.
Cheers,

yes
>2. MSSQL Server access / ODBC access to MySQL server.
yes. There are performance problems with access to remote MSSQL
servers (see e.g. http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=21772). Why do you
want to access mysql over ODBC? The native API is much more
powerful...
>3. E-mail sending functionality.
Yes
>4. DOM XML parser.
don't know much about this. Have a look at www.php.net/domxml
>5. Active Directory Access.
Don't know much, you can connect over LDAP
(http://ch.php.net/manual/en/ref.ldap.php#17098), there is also the
COM interface (www.php.net/com) and w32api
(http://cvs.php.net/co.php/php4/ext/w32api/w32api.c?login=2&r=1.8)
>I am also interested what is the better(more stable, efficient) solution to

stable, but not suitable for heavy traffic / high speed (works quite
ok if you don't have too much traffic)
>2. ISAPI for IIS
it has not been too stable for a long time, but 4.3.0 seems to be a
big step ahead.
>3. Module for Apache 2.0.
Don't have experience with that.

No.
In general you'll find many additional info in the manual on
www.php.net/manual/en (and the manual notes below the official texts).
We use PHP with IIS on NT and W2K since 3 years in production
environments without mayor problems.
