SV: [PHP] Copying file to a network drive (in WinNT4)

My best bet is that PHP doesn't know that h:\ exists. I have seen similar things before, though not in PHP. Have you tried using the UNC path instead (\\COMPUTER\SHARE)? >I also tried to execute a direct copy command via command prompt: >$cmd = "cmd /c copy $src $dest"; >passthru($cmd); Try mounting the network drive in PHP then copy the file: $cmd = "cmd /c net use h: \\COMPUTER\SHARE"; //Mount drive passthru($cmd); //Copy the file here $cmd = "cmd /c net use h: /delete"; //Unmount the drive passthru($cmd); /Joakim > -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- > Från: Warren Vail [mailto:warren@availabletech.com] > Skickat: fredag den 28 september 2001 03:37 > Till: joe.kaiping@home.com; php-general@lists.php.net > Kopia: ville.mattila@pilotmedia.fi > Ämne: RE: [PHP] Copying file to a network drive (in WinNT4) > > > Let me know what you find, if anything.
