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 ?
Told ya.
Over the shell.
You can output the "shell output" into a variable.
e.g.
//code
echo shell_exec ("vol c:");
This shows the Name of the volume C: on windoze systems.
you can also do
$var = shell_exec ("vol c:");
and then ereg the name out of it
