that's good to hear!

it's really six-one-half-a-dozen-the-other. php handles the path
translation. several ways will work from what i remember...

'c:\path\to\dir'

or

"c:\\path\\to\\dir"

or

'c:/path/to/dir'

or

"c:/path/to/dir"

i just always use single tic string notation as much as possible and
forward-slashes for paths...my *nix throw-back. anyway, try massaging the
path how you like and see if it works with each combination. ;^)
