Hi there! I asked this question at phpbuilder.com earlier today, but there was no answers given. So I post this same message now here. Hope that someone has some kind of idea how the copy could be success... Cheers, - Ville * * I have a kind of problem when trying to copy a file from local hard drive to a network drive. If I use usual copy() -function, I'll get following error: Warning: Unable to create 'h:\redhouse.jpg': Invalid argument in c:\apache\htdocs\copypic.php on line 14 The code which should execute the copy looks this: $dest = "h:\\".$code.".jpg"; $src = $img; copy($src, $dest); $code is a simple text which tells the destination name - in this case it's "punatalo". $img is the full path to the source file and this is taken from the URL (copypic.php?img=c:\house.jpg for an example). I also tried to execute a direct copy command via command prompt: $cmd = "cmd /c copy $src $dest"; passthru($cmd); But the result is that there comes text "0 file(s) copied". And this will happen as well as when I make a .bat file which makes the copy... Anyway, if I execute the copy command in the Command Prompt itself (without PHP, I mean): copy c:\house.jpg h:\redhouse.jpg works fine! And as well as if I take Start -> Run and then execute cmd /c copy c:\house.jpg h:\redhouse.jpg everything works fine! Whatever, there seems to be no way to copy via PHP... ;) Any ideas? * * .................................................................
