file write to drive ...

[KryptoS]

Hello,

I'm writing a file to my gps. Now for me, my gps, is drive I:. But the problem is that when someone from my company plug his gps in his computer at home that it can be E:, F:, ...
We have all TomTom gps in the company and the drive is also called TomTom. So to avoid problems, can I write a file using TomTom instead of I:\blabla.txt?

Greetings,
Wim

How about looping through all the drive letters (from A to Z) and, inside the loop, search for a certain file with file_exists() ? If file_exists returns TRUE, then you have it.

nice idea, can do that...

euhm... how do I loop through all the drive letters? :-s

Something like this :

$drives = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";

for ($i = 0; $i <= strlen($drives); $i++) {

    if (file_exists($drives[$i] . ":\\tomtom\\")) {
    
    // do something in this drive
    
    }

}

Not sure it will work though.
