Hi, I faced this problem already but I have fixed the issue by providing proper user rights to mounted drive. In Windows OS, while using Apache server for current user, when you want to access a folder or file outside the server root then you must have proper permission for the folder or file. Then only you can access the file or folder. Otherwise it will raise a warning or notice like file not found. Check with error_reporting(E_ALL); Thanks & Regards Udayakumar Sarangapani Chennai.
