This is a complete PHP/Apache on Windows 2003 Scenario. That's it!

So what it is supposed to be is:

* PHP5 / Apache2.2 on Windows Server 2003
* Folder on another Windows Machine on the Network contains some files
(mapped as network drive "X:\")
* PHP trying to read file on X:\ from Apache on Windows 2003.


Ok, I was under the impression this was one Win2003 machine in a Mac
network.

There's really nothing else to it.


Heh.

Can you, from the Windows 2003 machine, manually access the folder/file
that

Yes! Without any problems! I can easily navigate to the X: drive on that
Windows Machine, and do anything I want with files there. I have all
permissions.


Are you running Apache under a different (non-privileged) account on the
Win2003 machine? If Apache is running as a service with a different username
(with no extended access to network resources), you will need to get Apache
to run as a service under a user that can access the network resource. And I
still think you should use non-mapped addresses instead of mapped addresses,
since a mapping is just a localized version of a resource name alias.

If, after determing that Apache is running with the right permissions for
the owned processes to connect to and use a network shared resource, then
it's probably an Apache UID conflict (is PHP in safe mode?).
