What are common issues when transferring a PHP website from a Linux server to a Windows server?

One common issue when transferring a PHP website from a Linux server to a Windows server is file path differences. Windows uses backslashes (\) in file paths while Linux uses forward slashes (/), so you may need to update your file paths in your PHP code. You can use the PHP function `DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR` to dynamically generate the correct file path separator based on the server's operating system. 

// Update file paths to use DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR
$filePath = 'path' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'to' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'file.php';
include $filePath;
