Bug #12076: Using fopen() to open files located on a remote machine on a NT LAN

From: francis.desilva@nt.gov.au Operating system: Windows NT PHP version: 4.0.6 PHP Bug Type: Network related Bug description: Using fopen() to open files located on a remote machine on a NT LAN I am trying to open a file on a remote machine on a windows NT network. (The server and the remote machine are both on that NT network). e.g. fopen("\\155.225.57.20\C$\temp\bg2.gif","r"); However I kept receiving an error message saying that this is an invalid argument, and then I read on the php.faqts knowledgebase that "It is not currently possible to open windows shares with PHP". Can this be rectified for future php versions? -- Edit bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=12076&edit=1
