apache nt shared folders and opendir()

[Anon]

I had the following problem :
i had a script that used the opendir() command on remote folders (opendir("//machine/folder") etc.), and everything worked well while I worked on windows95 and apache from EasyPHP 1.5. But when I tried to have it work on windowsNT (the same EasyPHP package), everything went bad. After a long, long time I finally found the problem : there was something wrong when launching Apache as a service. If you launch it normally, there is no problem!

If this can help someone...

it sounds like it may be the permissions for the user opening Apache...if you are starting it as a service, it may be using a generic system account, that doesn't have an account on the remote machine. Of course, that theory only holds water if the user who logs in and starts Apache manually (and the command works) has an account on the remote machine...
