PHP has changed the way it displays directory separators in a file's path when calling the __FILE__ constant.  

PHP 3.0.11: g:\webroot/ideasphp/bug403-filepath.htm 
PHP 4.0.3:  g:\webroot\ideasphp\bug403-filepath.html

This inconsistency is causing problems my scripts which do an explode("/", __FILE__).

Guess I'll now have to swich to split("[\/]", __FILE__); for now.  But doing so changes the first array element from "g:\webroot" to "g:", which requires further code rewrites.

PHP 4 in thread safe environments such as NT (for now) makes sure that file names are created the standard way on our platform. In the case of NT, c:\foo\bar is the standard way. Sorry but you'll need to fix your scripts and best is if your solution works for both / and \ because they are both valid separators under NT.
