title: Can I develop websites on Xampp and publish on windows based server? (PHP/IIS 6/7/Apache)
body: <p>I usually develop websites on the WAMP/XAMPP and host it on Linux servers. All works fine. But to meet some of the client requirements, we need to host a new project on to a Windows based server running IIS (I guess its IIS7, if not IIS6). </p>
  
  <p>I don't have access to a windows server on my local. So how I can develop with having an understanding that it would work fine when hosted on the Windows. My main concern is with .htaccess stuff. For example, URL rewriting.</p>
  
  <p>I have been googling around and could see that I can do something with ISAPI filters.</p>
  
  <p>Are there more things I should care about (other than .htaccess)? 
  Which ISAPI filter you would recommend to me?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for your help.</p>
