Robin, the Flash PHP Multiuser set of classes, runs on XAMPP with a modification to the administration procedure. As outlined in the readme.txt file, you do not run the admin page. Instead, you just run the robin.php file directly. Robin will run while the robin.php is running but because the posix family of commands is not available on XAMPP windows, this really makes it a testing environment. If the PHP socket should go down, then there is no effective way to start it again. Cron jobs would have problems in detecting if Robin is already running without the posix_kill command and thus run the risk of multiple sockets.
The Robin zip file readme.txt has been updated to better explain this.
Also added to the zip file is a clarification on how the provided samples work. The samples will not work unless they are compiled (open the FLA files and CTRL ENTER to create SWF files) with your domain updated in the Robin.as file as instructed.
All the best,
Dan Zen
