opendir on mapped network drive

[parris.varney@ontech.com]

Hello all,

 

I've been at this road block for far too long: I can't seem to open a directory not on my local file system using PHP's opendir() function.  I definitely have access to this directory, it's mapped as my "O:" drive and I'm not prompted for a password when I open it via Windows.  I've been digging through the internet looking for anything to help.

 

Here's the error (well warning) message:

Warning: opendir(\\Ontech\Data) [function.opendir]: failed to open dir: Invalid argument in C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\scrips\dataLoad.php on line 19

 

Here's the code:

<?php
        error_reporting(E_ALL);
        ini_set('display_errors', '1');

$fileLocation = "\\\\Ontech\\Data";
$dirHanlde = opendir($fileLocation);

while( $file = readdir($dirHanlde) )
{
	echo $file . '<br>';
}
?>

 

Note that for $fileLocation I've tried

$fileLocation = "O:\\Data\\";

$fileLocation = "file:///OnTech/Data/";

$fileLocation = "file://OnTech/Data/";

$fileLocation = "file://OnTech/Data";

$fileLocation = "\\\\Ontech\\Data\\";

 

The remote computer is set to allow access from my account, my computer and (for now) anonymous users.  Also, I've tried to set my Apache service to use every login I can think of.

 

Any help is appreciated, if even a link so I can "read the flippin' manual".

 

Thanks in advance,

Parris

Nobody has anything?

Is this drive on your server or your local machine? PHP can only access disks on the server.

I've never needed to do this, so just throwing a guess out there...

 

have you tried prepending the machine name or domain to the path?

It's a drive on a server, I'm running wamp, and accessing a Win2k server (if that makes a difference).

Did you try:

<?php
$fileLocation = "O:/Data/";
?>

or

<?php
$fileLocation = "O:/Data";
?>

Yea...

 

I've found a reference that sounds promising, but I'm not entirely familiar with what they're talking about.  This might be my

 

problem:SMBsrvr doesn't allow nullSession...

but why WEBsrvr tries to connect using nullSession ?

because Apache is running as LocalSystem

Are you familiar with this?
