I am currently developing reporting solution for a mostly ASP based application that uses network shares on the local machine to find its files.

PHP cant read network shares (\\thisserver\share), is there anyway I can rectify this? Com object? some ASP code to tie them together? realpath doesn't work and just returns what i send it.

Thanks --BB
 
Try using "//server/share" or "\\\\server\\share" How can you be in two places at once when you're not anywhere at all?
 
Those don't work, (I have tried), I need a program to map a \\computer\share to a drive and folder on the local machine, (It's not even leaving the local machine!)

try this

subst [driveletter] [drive\path] --

It no longer matters as im rewriting some of the system to not use \\computer\shares

Thanks anyway --BB
