Remote Directories

[ekbranson]

I am trying to upload folders and filenames on a win2k machine to a MySql database stored on Linux server. The server is running Appache. The proplem lies with the opendir(). It fails. I have read up on the opendir() in the PHP documentation, and it seems that this is supported. Anyone know a place I can look for more documentation, or have a solution?

$path ="\\\win2kMachine\\someSharedFolder\\";
$main_dir =opendir ($path) or die("Error reading ".$path);

You have an odd number of backslashes at the beginning of your string that is being stored in $path. That just can't be right -- is it a typo while posting?

No, the backslashes are necessary to escape. However I have also tried:

//win2kMachine/someSharedFolder/

Ok, I still have not found a work arround for this issue. But, for anyone else that may be looking, I came across this

which discusses some issues with opendir(). If anyone knows a fix for this besides seting up the remote computer with permissions for Appache let me know.

Thanks
