Stut,
Are you referring to this?
"If you're using IIS then it's the IUSR_machine user which doesn't have
access to the network by default"
The IUSR_SERVERNAME account is what it should be connecting as whether I'm
using PHP/Javascript/HTML, unless specifically set in a connection string
such as the database connections. But, the initial calls always come from
IUSR_SERVERNAME.
Thiago,
HTML WORKS
<a href=\\server\folder\file.xls target="_blank">Open</a>
Javascript WORKS
function openWin(folder,file) {
var LeftPosition = (this.screen.width) / 2;
var TopPosition = (this.screen.height) - this.screen.height;
var Height = (this.screen.height) - 90;
var Width = (this.screen.width) /2 - 10;
MyWin = window.open(\\\\server\\"+folder+"\\"+file+"\.xls","ViewImage","scrollbars=yes,
status=yes,
resizable=no,top="+TopPosition+",left="+LeftPosition+",width="+Width+",height="+Height+"");
MyWin.focus();
}
PHP DOESN'T WORK
$filename = "\\\\server\\".$folder."\\".$file.".xls";
header("Content-Type: application/x-msdownload");
readfile($filename);
I put all three of these examples into the exact same page. The HTML and
Javascript open the file without any problems, but PHP cannot open it.
