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

ID: 12076 Updated by: alindeman Reported By: francis.desilva@nt.gov.au Old Status: Feedback Status: Closed Bug Type: Network related Operating System: Windows NT PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment: no feedback Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-07-12 02:59:41] derick@php.net PHP already can handle UNC patsh (since 4.0.5 iirc), but I think it needs a name, and not an IP Address. Can you check this? Derick ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-07-11 22:32:54] francis.desilva@nt.gov.au 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 this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=12076&edit=1
