There's nothing wrong with this. It's standard. I believe the logic of
this is that the first two forward slashes represent the standard
protocol indicator: http://, ftp://, file://, while the final forward
slash represents a directory off the root directory, as a carry over
from unix
/tmp, /bin, /usr, etc.

Jochem,
I have tried variations on the following:
$storelink = "<a href=\"file://G:\\".$filename.".pdf\"
target=\"_blank\">PDF</a>";
and the link keeps coming out as:
file:///G:/575991.pdf
is that what the browser (let me guess: IE) is interpreting
the link as or is that what is literally in the html source?
I'm using Smarty so the link doesn't appear as HTML as such. This is what
the browser (guessed wrong - I'm using Firefox) shows in the status bar.
