note 74451 added to function.fopen

is it possible to use fopen with a shared network path? I knew it wasn't previously, but thought it was now. however, I keep getting a "failed to open stream" error... eg: $fp = fopen("\\\\its12345\\temp\\newfile.csv",'a') ---- Server IP: 203.220.0.234 Probable Submitter: 203.11.81.235 (proxied: 10.49.12.148, 10.64.18.13) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fopen.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/74451 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74451/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74451/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74451/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74451/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74451/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74451/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74451 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/74451 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
