As I mentioned in my previous post, it appears to be PHP.

Yes.

You should be able to do this. The script isn't that complicated. You
should be able to reimplement it using a M$-friendly language, such as .ASP.

PHP does run under Windows, but it might be easier to go with the M$ tool
chain.

At first glance, the script looks rather standard. I'm not seeing any
"strange functions".

It is not a BASH file. This is guaranteed PHP. I see many PHP functions in
the script ... it is PHP.

The script is not that complicated. Just go through it line-by-line, look
up all the functions at http://www.php.net, and see what you can do on
Windows. You can either use PHP under Windows or reimplement some other
way, perhaps .ASP.

Reverse-engineer and reimplement.
