Reading a file via an UNC path

[be082546]

Hello,

I've 2 Windows XP systems, system A and system B.
I've a file on system B that I want to read from out a PHP script on system A.
I mapped the drive from system B in my system A like \\10.10.212.15\ d$ to a drive Y on system A.

in my PHP script I tried already a lot of things to access the files on this Y drive, but without success.
such as if(file_exists( "Y:\\HEAT\\TC00 39\\MacroSequen ce.txt"))
if(file_exists( "\\\\10.10.212. 15\\D\$\\HEAT\\ TC0039\\MacroSe quence.txt"))
if(file_exists( "\\\\heat01\\D\ $\\HEAT\\TC0039 \\MacroSequence .txt"))
etc ...
but they all return a false however the file is indeed located at that location

ANybody that could help me out ?

Just to be sure: are your 2 systems on a server or on your client with a server installed?

Hello,

To be more concrete :

I've on system A a PHP script that's called via a POST request as a server script.
This script uses the above described drive for some input. As long as this
MacroSequence.t xt file is located on the machine A itself, there is no problem.
From the moment I want to access it from another system it's failing as
described above.
The MacroSequence.t xt is just a pure xml file.

Hope this clarifies the issue a bit more ...

btw thanks for the quick reply
