Question (Unix-only code)?

[myriad360]

I was wondering if this code works only on Unix, or if it should work on a Apache web server with Windows 200 Pro as the OS:

$user = posix_getpwuid(fileowner($file));
	echo 'File owner: '.$user['name'].'<br>';
	
	$group = posix_getgrgid(filegroup($file));
	echo 'File group: '.$group['name'].'<br>';
	
	echo 'File permissions: '.decoct(fileperms($file)).'<br>';
	
	echo 'File type: '.filetype($file).'<br>';
	
	echo 'File size: '.filesize($file).' bytes<br>';
	
	
	echo '<h2>File tests</h2>';
	
	echo 'is_dir: '.(is_dir($file)? 'true' : 'false').'<br>';
	echo 'is_executable: '.(is_executable($file)? 'true' : 'false').'<br>';
	echo 'is_file: '.(is_file($file)? 'true' : 'false').'<br>';
	echo 'is_link: '.(is_link($file)? 'true' : 'false').'<br>';
	echo 'is_readable: '.(is_readable($file)? 'true' : 'false').'<br>';
	echo 'is_writable: '.(is_writable($file)? 'true' : 'false').'<br>';

No posix functions are not available on windows.

hmm, crap, is there any alternative for a Windows user? What kind of Linux OS would you recommend for operation? I am not excited about Linux just because I will have to build a whole new box for it, and it will have to handle a lot of Windows networking. Is this difficult? I would change all this if I could.

Thanks!
