RE: [PHP-WIN] Reading mapped drive with PHP5

I found this page relating to mapped drives and PHP:
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=3D26214&edit=3D1

Since you upgraded your PHP, maybe some of your other settings changed
as well. This page indicates that mapped drives are user-specific and
if your PHP script is running as a different user, that it might not
have access to the same mappings and that cause a problem.

This page:
http://www.phpbuilder.com/board/sho...adid=3D10262019

Mentions someone who couldn't use the UNC but could use a mapped drive.
They said changing to the CGI version enabled them to use the UNC.
Sounds like a far shot, and I have no idea why this would make a
difference (I'm sure someone on here does though.. I'd be curious to
find out).

Some things to look into at least.

Trevor,

Thanks for your suggestions.

I did manage to solve it in a semi-PHP way. The script buiulds a batchfile
to execute some Java apps. All I did was to build a few lines at the
beginning of the batch file to do the copying at dos level. Did the trick.

Cheers

George
