Please do not submit the same bug more than once. An existing bug report already describes this very problem. Even if you feel that your issue is somewhat different, the resolution is likely to be the same. Thank you for your interest in PHP. Dup of #41926. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-07-08 18:45:30] fskbcb at puk dot ac dot za Description: ------------ I am unable to access a shared directory on another windows pc by executing the windows "dir \\remoteserver\sharedir" function in php. I have tried this using exec(),system() etc. When I type the command "dir \\remoteserver\sharedir" on the windows command line (cmd) it works fine. If I do a "dir \\ownserver\sharedir" of the shares of the pc that I am working on, I am able to view them. It seems that when php executes the command to read another pc's shares, there may be permission problems? Reproduce code: --------------- <?php /* Please change server name and directory name to relevant windows share */ $server_name="radio"; $server_name="radio"; $directory_name="photos"; $share="\\\\".$server_name."\\".$directory_name; $cmd=array( "net use ".$share, "dir ".$share); for ($x=0;$x < count($cmd);$x++) { echo "Command: ".$cmd[$x]." <br>"; $result = `$cmd[$x]`; echo "The result is: <br>".$result." <br>"; } ?> Expected result: ---------------- Command: net use \\radio\photos The result is: Local name Remote name \\radio\photos Resource type Disk Status OK # Opens 0 # Connections 1 The command completed successfully. Command: dir \\radio\photos The result is: Volume in drive \\radio\photos is Spare Volume Serial Number is 4C41-9557 Directory of \\radio\photos 05/07/2007 06:13 PM <DIR> . 05/07/2007 06:13 PM <DIR> .. etc . . . . . Actual result: -------------- Command: net use \\radio\photos The result is: Local name Remote name \\radio\photos Resource type Disk Status OK # Opens 0 # Connections 1 The command completed successfully. Command: dir \\radio\photos The result is: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=41927&edit=1
