I am trying to open a file that is on one windows machine from a second windows machine they are both running nt 4.0. My problem is when i try to open up a file with the name "\fileserver\folder to share\file to get.file" from my webserver it just doesn't open. Ive tryed file() fopen() i get the error that the file doesn't exist when im abosulty positive that the file exists. I wrote my own function called open_file() and all that does is do a fopen from within a php exension and again i get a file doesn't exist. Then i tryed writting a java class that opens the same file. When i run this java class stand alone then it opens fine but when i use the new java() from within php the same exact java class gets an error saying
Warning: java.io.FileNotFoundException: \MACHINE\folder\file.html (Access is denied)
and ive also tryed to open the same file from within a c fopen and a c++ fstream (both standalone with out php) and it works fine.
im basically stumped.
i also set up nt logging to check for sucesss or fails that try and access that file and i don't even get a log.
Any insite would help.
