with regard to trolling - I'd don't *just* do that :-)
sometime I even get the answer to the question correct :-)
let's see if I can help ...

you got this part right (escaping the backslash)

this if statement will run given the value of $page, it's not needed AFAIKT.
then again I can't see it causing problems.
btw: php defines a constant DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR automatically which may help you
make your code more portable, and save you having to think/worry about the blacksdlashing
'problem'.

right here I suggest adding a check using is_dir() and is_readable() on the $page var.
for now stick in a bit of debug code ...
echo '<pre>';
var_dump($path, is_dir($path), is_readable($path));
echo '</pre>';
I'm guessing that is_readable() is going to return false, which would point
the fact that either the drive or the directory is not readable by the webserver
process (you don't mention whether you are running via a the webserver but I assume you
are given the output your generating include a '<br>') - the situation maybe compounded
by the fact that F: is actually a mapped drive of some sorts (I have no idea
what kind of trouble this could cause).
