Fred,
        There are two types of features, those generated at design time
(like the include page) and those generated at browse-time (such as the
search, form handlers, database). Basically, if you can picture the server
having anything to do with a page, then it won't work. You can try to
publish your web to a file location (as a disk-based web) that you can open
and see what does or does not function there. However, PHP will run on
pretty much any platform, including Windows. You may want to make sure that
your host really doesn't want to provide both PHP and FP Extension support
on the same site as there's no technical reason why not.

        Hope this helps
