Bug #13292 Updated: file_exists works with UNC names

ID: 13292 Updated by: christoph.grottolo@gmx.net Reported By: Helmut.Himmelstoss@t-online.de Status: Bogus Bug Type: Filesystem function related Operating System: Windows NT/2000 PHP Version: 4.1.1 New Comment: In IIS you can check the option 'check that file exists' in the IIS Admin interface on the panel where you enter the file extensions (.php -> c:\php\php.exe). Then IIS will check the permissions and open the file for php. The anonymous webserver account (usually IUSER_MACHINENAME) must have appropriate permissions on the remote share. If not IIS will check if the remote user is a domain user with permission to access the share, but this only works if the remote user is in the same or in a trusted domain AND uses MSIE AND NTLM authentication is enabled in IIS. PHP as CGI in IIS starts on a local account and cannot access remote shares itself. I've been asked questions about this issue quite often, maybe the correct settings should be explained in the manual.

But only when the PC is trusted in a domäne and you are using a domain-user. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-29 04:14:15] manuzhai@php.net Have you tried the //computername/share/filename syntax? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-12 16:44:53] dadrewa@characterlink.net I'm using IIS 5.0 on Windows 2000. I installed PHP 4.1.1 configured to be a CGI interpreter. I'm trying to require a file located on another W2K computer on our LAN with this code: require '\\\\computername\\sharename\\functions.php'; However, when I try to execute this PHP script, I get this error: Fatal error: Failed opening required '\\computername\sharename\functions.php' (include_path='..') in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\keygen\index.php on line 3 Supposedly this functionality is supported with PHP 4.1.1, but I'm not sure why it isn't working for me. The share is a local share and full access is granted to everyone. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
