fopen

[cpd259]

I am trying to open a file on another server so I can write to it. My code is returning an error. My code is: $f1 = fopen("\xxx.xxx.x.xxx\c:\cd1\test.xml","w"); The error I am getting is Warning fopen(\m.xxx.x.xxx\c:\cd1\testxml) function fopen failed to open stream. The first number in the IP address is suppose to be 155 but the error system is returning the lower case 'm'. What am I doing wrong? Also, while I am at it, is there also a rights issue here as well? Thanks for your help.

Are you sure the share is accessible via drive letter and not a share name?

You also need to specify a protocol when accessing remote servers.

i.e.

fopen("http://192.168.10.240/sharename/cd1/textxml.xml", "w");
fopen("ftp://usr:pwd@192.168.10.240/sharename/cd1/textxml.xml", "w");

To write to the remote file, I am pretty sure you will need to set write permissions to global users via HTTP.

I tried using the fopen formats you supplied but I must still be doing something wrong. Here is the info I have available to include in the fopen.

This is a remote server I am trying to access.

http://xxxx.xxx.4.122

 SHARE PROPERTIES

NAME FOLDER PATH

WBDROP D:\wbdrop

File I am trying to write out: testcd11.xml

I have copied/pasted the different fopen(s) I have tried and as you can see, I have tried a few.

//$f2 = fopen("c:\temp\test.xml","w");
//$f2 = fopen ("WBDROP\d:wbdrop\testcd11.xml","w");
$f2 = fopen("\xxxx.xxx.4.122/wbdrop/testcd11.xml","w");
//$f2 = fopen("http://xxx.xxx.4.122/WBDROP/testcd11.xml","w");
//$f2 = fopen("http://xxx.xxx.4.122/d:wbdrop/testcd11.xml","w");

Are you trying to access a share on a Windoze machine?

[cpd259]

Yes I am. As you can see from what I have submitted, the sharename is WBDROP.

I looked at the permissions and if I was looking at the correct permissions, they do give 'write' capabilities.
