Bug #11673: UNC paths not working when used in include_path

From: steve@aidacorp.com Operating system: Windows 2000 PHP version: 4.0.6 PHP Bug Type: *Web Server problem Bug description: UNC paths not working when used in include_path Using a UNC path in as the home directory under IIS 5.0 and Windows 2000 Server using the PHP ISAPI module does not seem to work. If I set the Network Directory to "\\nas\web\customer" I get the following error from PHP: Warning: Failed opening '\\nas\web\customer\index.php' for inclusion If I map a drive then there is not a problem opening the file but drives are not mapped until a user logs in so this cannot be used on the web server. Also, in the php.ini file, if I use include_dir = "\\nas\inetpub\phpinclude" or include_dir = "\\\\nas\\inetpub\\phpinclude" both give the error that the included files cannot be found. If I use include_dir = "//nas/inetpub/phpinclude" then there is no problem. Also, if I run the php.exe program with a UNC path it does not work, but if I map a drive then all is well. -- Edit Bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=11673&edit=1
