Q: Is the server a Linux system, and must the local development environment be Linux?

Q: Is the server a Linux system, and must the local development environment be Linux? I just learned how to build a website. There are many problems.
I bought a space and the server operating system is Linux.
To create a website, must the local development environment be Linux?

In addition, are website content, directories, and formats on Linux and windows 2003 Server operating systems different?
Thank you!

No, but it must be released after the launch test

It is certainly different from the operating system perspective, but it is basically the same for http.
You are a newbie. it is troublesome to say the same, but you can ignore the difference, because the directory structure is basically the same. The difference is only in some details, for example, if the path character is "\" and the path character is "/", you only need to pay attention to the writing method when the write program is used. ftp can automatically process the file during Upload without worrying about it; the path encoding is not fixed in windows. linux uses UTF-8. Therefore, directories and file names are generally used to English numbers, spaces, and lowercase letters, so as not to cause problems on other machines.

There are a lot of reasons. it's better to create two directories and simple html. you just need to upload the files to the linux system and check them out.

Basically, I can use windows 2003, but the server environment is not very different.

Does the local development environment have to be Linux?
No! Can be any operating system

Does the website content, directories, and formats on Linux and windows 2003 Server operating systems differ?
No, they are all the same!

Note that:
1. do not use Chinese paths or file names
2. do not contain spaces in the path or file name
3. it is best to use lowercase letters for the path and file name.

No. There are development tools in Windows.

Thank you!

I have a little understanding. if you have any questions, I 'd like to ask you!

Basically, there is no problem. It seems that there are some minor differences when obtaining path delimiters. However, you can use the PHP function to determine the system and then perform differentiated processing. 99% development is okay.

What do new users do with linux? I'm afraid I'm not tired enough.

The first website is now available. thank you. Split!
