#25469 [Com]: PHP has problems with accessing files and directorys in a windows share

ID: 25469 Comment by: f dot cassini at astra-srl dot com Reported By: christian at freemails dot at Status: Open Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: Windows NT 5.2 build 3790 PHP Version: 4.3.3 New Comment: Same problem on Win 98 SE, cli version If running the script on a network redirected drive (e.g. net use x: \\server\share) 1: <?php 2: 3: include './test2.php'; 4: 5: ?> This is OK on W2000, on W98SE php says: Warning: main(.\test2.php): failed to open stream: Invalid argument in test.php on line 4 Warning: main(): Failed opening '.\test2.php' for inclusion (include_path='.;c:\php4\pear') in test.php on line 4 the only workaround I found is putting test2.php on a local drive, e.g. c:\ But this imply ANY lan pc MUST have its own set of 'included' php sources...

But how to make sure that this is not a PHP bug? I am really sure that it (the share and the files) is writable and readable. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-09-10 18:43:19] sniper@php.net 1. 4.3.3 is already released 2. And it's the permissions. Not bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-09-10 11:25:48] christian at freemails dot at Description: ------------ well, I expierenced today this error message (see the output field in the bugreport) But I checked it by running cmd.exe (the Windows NT standard shell) as webserver user and I can simply access any files. The share is writable and on a FAT32 partition so no chmods or so on apply. Well some PHP details: It seems that I can use any filesystem function in PHP to fail to access it. (tested with file) file_exists return false. I am using PHP as apache module as distributed on www.php.net Apache 1.3.28 with PHP 4.3.2 Something that maybe apply: Today I upgraded my Apache to 1.3.28 from 1.3.27. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php var_dump( file("\\\\somehost\\someshare\\somefile.txt") ); /* (line 8 is quoted in the bugreport) */ ?> Actual result: -------------- Warning: file(\\pc4\hd2\do_chroot) [function.file.php]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in c:\programme\apache group\apache\htdocs\somescript.php on line 8 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=25469&edit=1
