Re: how to access file stats on network dirves..

thanxs for your response.. i worked around it the following way: in my php script i envoke the ntvdm via cmd.exe through teh command net use drive_letter: \\servername\path /user:username pass in the next step i walk through the filesystem using opendir. en then check wether the returned value is a file or a dir. this then goes in to my database for further processing. it works great!
