Hi Jason, I wonder if permissions are my problem, but... When I try and fopen the file (using rb flags for read and binary) and try to do an fstat it doesn't return any of the specific file information at all (lots of zeros). I'm running Apache 2.0.51 under the LocalSystem account, and so I assume that PHP which is loaded as an Apache module would attempt to access the file as whatever user the Apache service is using. In which case LocalSystem SHOULD have access. It's frustrating because I know I'm probably missing something simple!

If all goes well, the only thing you should need to do to open that file would be to open a file with a file pointer and then do whatever you want with the file pointer. Your PHP user will need read and / or write access to the file(s) in question, you can right-click them to check on this. <?php // any file, so long as PHP user can read it $file = 'C:\\images\\somepic.jpg'; $fp = fopen($file, 'r'); // do stuff, not sure what you wanted ewxactly but this gives you an idea echo 'Is this a directory? '; echo is_dir($fp) ? 'yes' : 'no'; echo '<pre>'; print_r(fstat($fp)); echo '</pre>'; // etc. ?> -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
