I use a Mac OS X Server generally, where I mount network drives to a share point. Everything works therein. Recently I had a need to setup Apache Web Server, PHP & mySQL on a Windows 2003 Server we have in the office. There I used the same scripts I was running on Mac OS X to access files on a network drive. But in Windows 2003, I¹m not mounting anything on a share point, I¹m simply referring to the files using actual paths. Whether it¹s a direct X:\ kind of path, or a network path \\servername ... With or without backslashes. This is the first application I setup on the Windows Server to access files on a network drive.
