Hi Louie I've tried using both a mapped network drive and the UNC path syntax. Both work perfectly for me, although I only tried reading, not writing. Which version of PHP are you using. I'm not sure if versions before 5.0 handle shares at all. I checked the bug entry you cited, did you read the final entry in it which describes why it is a permission problem and not a bug? It also gives advice on how to work around the problem. -- Niel Archer -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
