Subject: RE:  How to get a network drive name



Hi everybody !

I would need a help in php or a portable javascript solution
(for several browsers).

My problem is :  i have no solution about how to get a
network drive name.
For exemple, getting COMMON in COMMON(X:).

The only solution i saw was using activeX controls with
javascript but the problem is that this controls are only
compatible with IE.
I'm working with php under XP.

Sorry for my bad english, i hope i was clear however, any
suggests are welcome, thanks !



In the context of a webserver/browser scenario, PHP will only be able to
tell you about the webserver, as it is a server-side technology.

Yes i have a php application, so a server-side application.
In the machine where the server is installed i have mapped COMMON1(X:), COMMON2(Y:) and COMMON3(Z:) network drives and now what i need is to get COMMON1, COMMON2, COMMON3 informations in stead of X:, Y:, Z:. I have no problem for getting X:, Y:, Z: (if(is_dir("X:") works very well for that))

Nothing
about PHP 'runs' in the browser.  In other words, you can probably get all
the information you want about the SERVER's network drive names, and display
that on the user's browser,

Ok, so in php, how can i get the netowok drive names i mapped on the server and to display them in the client's browsers ?

but you will not be able to use PHP to get ANY
info about the users's drive names and send it back to the server.

For that, IMO, you will need Activex or a Java applet.
