opendir problem

[chrisleon]

I have an issue with opendir() It was working perfectly on one server, but we had to upgrade and our systems admin has now moved the data pool to one server and the web server to another.

If I do an opendir('\\myserver\share1') I get a permission denied.

We have tried this under IIS and under apache and cannot get it to authenticate correctly.

The reason for this post is to ask if there is any other solution to our problem without using opendir()

The script will do an opendir on a folder that contains around 900 other folders, all named as the date they were created. It then opens that directory that is selected and displays all the files in that folder. It is really quite a simple script. I just do not know of any other techniques to do so.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I know running shell commands can be bad practice (according to some), but have you thought of using something like exec()?

Since you mentioned IIS, I'll assume it's a Window's server, so I would do something like:

$cmd = "dir \\\\myserver\\share1";
exec($cmd, $output);

All output will then be reurned to the array $output for you to do as you please.

Oh, and come to think of it, that might not work either as this sounds more like a server permissions issue.
