i have already tryed this command barry, in fact the name of the volume is different from the name of a network drive. A volume concerns a partition i think For exemple, you can define many drives, let say COMMON1(X:), COMMON2(Y:) in the DISK(C:). In this situation, the volume name is DISK for the three drives and different from COMMON1 and COMMON2. I have tried many other dos commands but with no succes TALL Ibrahima

You can do this: $net_use=NET USE;//notice the backticks here! $lines=explode("\n",$net_use);

The NET USE command gives many infos about the network drives by the name of the drive is not given. See the Net Use output in the joined file of this message

La commande s'est termin,e correctement.

This will give you an array containing the output, line by line, of the NET USE command. Use foreach() to cycle through the $lines array and parse out the driver letters and names. JM
