tabasca Posted July 11, 2010 Author Share Posted July 11, 2010 Hi, this is my code : <?php function open_dir ($dir_name) { if ($handle = opendir ($dir_name)) { while (($file = readdir($handle)) != false) { if ($file != '.' && $file != '..') if (filetype($dir_name.'/'.$file)== 'dir') { open_dir ($dir_name.'/'.$file); } else { echo "----- ".$dir_name.'/'.$file."<br>"; } } closedir($handle); } } error_reporting(E_ALL); ini_set('display_errors', '1'); //$rep = "c:"; // work fine with this declaration //$rep = "////MyNetworkDrive/Diretory01/"; // dosn't work (see message error) $rep="\\\localhost\\web"; // dosn't work (see message error) open_dir($rep); ?> Error message : Warning: opendir(//localhost/web) [function.opendir]: failed to open dir: Result too large in D:\MySites\tpoe\web\dir.php on line 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabasca Posted July 11, 2010 Author Share Posted July 11, 2010 Still nothing yet !!! Any idea ??? Any solution ??? Please Help ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrbnsn Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 The problem might be that the drive is not mapped for the process that's running the webserver. Take a look at this thread in another forum. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikachu2000 Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 The slash escaping doesn't look right on the ones that aren't working. If that doesn't help, I don't know what else to suggest. //$rep = "c:"; // work fine with this declaration //$rep = "////MyNetworkDrive/Diretory01/"; // try //MyNetworkDrive/Directory/01/ $rep="\\\localhost\\web"; // try \\\\localhost\\web\\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zane Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 This should be of some use to you. PS. I found it with Google using the search term "Unable to fork"; and it was the first one on the list http://www.somacon.com/p255.php A quote from the page In Windows, when trying to execute a system call from a PHP script, you receive a warning like "Warning: system() [function.system]: Unable to fork". A related warning message is "Warning: shell_exec() [function.shell-exec]: Unable to execute" Cause The most likely cause is insufficient permissions to execute system calls in the web server environment. Fix You need to give the Internet Guest Account (a.k.a. IUSR_MachineName or simply IUSR) read and execute permission to the command shell program, cmd.exe. Typically, permission to this file is explicitly denied as a security measure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
