Is DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR necessary ?
Is using ‘/’ enough ?
I heard even Windows treats ‘/’ well.
Which one do you prefer ? The 19-character DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR or 3-character ‘/’ ?
Please tell me why if you prefer DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR 
First I’ve heard of it, but it would be nice if true. Where did you hear it? Limited versions?
Does this mean we can lose PHP_EOL too?
Personally, 19 characters, 3 characters, meh, what’s the difference in terms of performance vs code reliability.
I heard it from http://alanhogan.com/tips/php/directory-separator-not-necessary
PHP_EOL is still necessary since Windows use ‘\r\n’, but others use ‘\n’
Thanks
from 2008 it seems like it must be good for at least since Windows7

Yes, using / is enough so long as you’re not running production windows servers. Anyone who needs to run the site on a local machine should be using vagrant or docker anyway.
Wait, wait, wait… wait…
People actually use IIS to run PHP? It’s amazing enough that anyone uses IIS to start with.
