hi everybody,
i want to connect to a dbf file in a remote computer in lan where i have a
sharing connection mapped into X: (with read only permissions); im using
pear, apache , php5 windows
im experiencing problems with the following code:

<?php
// connessione al db
require_once "DB.php";
printf("prova connessione dbf:<br>");

$dsn = "dbase:///X:/DB/call_report.DBF";
$conn =& DB::connect ($dsn);
if (DB::isError ($conn))
die ("Cannot connect: " . $conn->getMessage () . "\n");
?>

the result is : Cannot connect: DB Error: connect failed
if i copy the dbf file in my local system and substitute the $dsn with :

$dsn = "dbase:///C:/DB/call_report.DBF";

it connects.

Any idea on how to set proper permission on the remote machine in order to
succesfully connect ?

thanx in advance

Using
die("Cannot connect: " . $conn->getMessage() . ', ' .
$conn->getUserInfo() . "\n");
will give you some more information about the problem.
