ID: 40163 Updated by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reported By: coyle at washpenn dot com -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: Directory function related Operating System: Windows 2003 PHP Version: 5.2.0 New Comment:
You do need to escape \ even under single quotes, so your first example is fine: $path = '\\\\server\\share\\directory\\'; Are you running PHP under a web server? This sounds to me like permissions issue? Could you try running php.exe from command line and see if the result is any different. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-01-19 14:33:54] coyle at washpenn dot com Above: $path = '\\server\share\directory'; Should be: $path = '\\\\server\share\directory'; I am running out of things to try here. When I print $path, I get a valid UNC path with no spaces anywhere but I still get the error above. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-01-19 14:27:23] coyle at washpenn dot com $path = "\\\\server\\share\\directory"; or $path = '\\server\share\directory'; Doesn't matter which I try ... I've tried many different combinations to produce the path in both 5.2.0 or 5.2.1 RC4-dev and none of them work. Everything was fine in php <= 5.1.6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-01-19 14:09:15] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Double slashes are needed only with double quotes, because "\x" means an escape character. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-01-19 13:05:37] coyle at washpenn dot com Better Example: $path = '\\\\server\\share\\directory\\'; mkdir($path, 0770); Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: Invalid argument in <file> on line <line> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-01-19 08:08:04] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Not enough information was provided for us to be able to handle this bug.
