Hi there !
Had the same problem... but solved it :)
in fact it IS permission related...
(like [EMAIL PROTECTED] said)
my conf:
WEBsrvr nt5 + Apache/1.3.24 (Win32) PHP/4.3.4RC3-dev
SMBsrvr nt5
the deal:
WEBsrvr access a share on SMBsrvr with opendir()
the problem:
$d = opendir('\\SMBsrvr\whatever');
Warning: opendir(\\SMBsrvr\whatever): failed to open dir: Invalid
argument in C:\Inetpub\www\script.php on line x
--`this is not a usefull warning !`
$fp = fopen('\\SMBsrvr\whatever\file.ext','rb');
Warning: fopen(\\SMBsrvr\whatever\file.ext): failed to open stream:
Permission denied in C:\Inetpub\www\script.php on line y
--`hmm, hmm, more interresting...`
At this point had to investigate a bit more:
Apparently apache + php know that \\SMBsrvr\whatever exists and that it
is a valid directory ressource...
Did some packet log on SMBsrvr:
WEBsrvr sends a SMB `Tree Connect AndX Request` using nullSession
SMBsrvr replies by an ACCESS_DENIED
gotcha !
SMBsrvr doesn't allow nullSession...
but why WEBsrvr tries to connect using nullSession ?
because Apache is running as LocalSystem
>From MSDN:
`Windows NT - LocalSystem:
The service has limited access to network resources, such as shares and
pipes, because it has no credentials and must connect using a null
session. The following registry key contains the NullSessionPipes and
NullSessionShares values, which are used to specify the pipes and
shares to which null sessions may connect:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters
Alternatively, you could add the REG_DWORD value RestrictNullSessAccess
to the key and set it to 0 to allow all null sessions to access all
pipes and shares created on that machine.`
Enough blabla:
Either you allow the host of share to accept nullSessions
or you create an account with enough privileges on the apache host and
when in mmc/Services/Apache/Connexion "Open a session as" - use the
newly created account...
All of this is true for Apache, but it should be 'approximatively' the
same concept for IIS...

Not enough information, assuming this is run under IIS where
this document applies:

I redid the share to be called 'fdrive'.
Then updated my script accordingly:
<?php
$dir1 = "\\\\matt\\fdrive\\";
$dir2 = "\\\\192.168.0.6\\fdrive\\";
$dir3 = "//matt/fdrive/";
$dir4 = "//192.168.0.6/fdrive/";
opendir($dir1);
opendir($dir2);
opendir($dir3);
opendir($dir4);
?>
But I still get:
Warning: opendir(\\matt\fdrive\): failed to open dir: Invalid argument
in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\ExitCareWeb\test.php on line 6
Warning: opendir(\\192.168.0.6\fdrive\): failed to open dir: Invalid
argument in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\ExitCareWeb\test.php on line 7
Warning: opendir(//matt/fdrive/): failed to open dir: Invalid argument

Try renaming those shares not to have that space in them,
for example 'F Drive' -> 'F_Drive'..

It is not security.
I went to the Sharing tab and clicked the Perissions button for the F
Drive Share. I gave Everyone full control. I also went to the Security
tab and set Everyone to full control. Applied the changes, reran the
script. Exact same result.

"To anyone who needs to use UNC mapped drives with
OpenDir(), if you are having a problem with OpenDir() reading
the directory, check your permissions for the share on the
host machine. Start with giving full permission to everyone
(which should work fine) and then back accessability until you
have a problem."
