Network disk + PHP4

What can I do, if I whant use network(mapping) disk in my PHP script? Windows 2000 Advanced Server, IIS and PHP4.

You can map drives to drive letters to make it easy, and this works just like normal real attached drives. Some people have gotten the network location system to work aswell such as "\servername\sharename".

Do you know how they've done that. I know that UNC-paths (the \server\share ones) worked in PHP3 but - as I know - they don't in PHP4.

The problem with mapped drive letters is, that they're usually not available on a NT webserver, as nobody is logged in.

Thanks to all!
The problem was in the security of Windows:
the anonymous user just couldn't see the mapped disk. To address the problem I simply created a new system user with the necessary rights and added him to anonymous access.

If you ever figure out how to access a file located at "//server/sharename", please let me know.

Thanks.
