The fix that was applied to PHP 4.0.6 still didn't fix the UNC problems which were broken when PHP moved from PHP3 -> PHP4


  $d = dir("//ntserver14/shared/cameron");
  echo "Handle: ".$d->handle."<br>\n";
  echo "Path: ".$d->path."<br>\n";
  while($entry=$d->read()) {
     echo $entry."<br>\n";
  }
  $d->close();

I ran the same code under php3.0.16 and it still works there.
 
This still fails to work with the lastest version of PHP.
It was stated as being fixed in 4.0.6 and I received a bug report closure for BUG 9234
http://www.php.net/bugs.php?id=9234

Any Ideas why it still doesn't work?
Am I doing something wrong from this end?

PS I have checked to see that all shares and filesystem are visible by the IIS4.0 webserver account.

The DIR function seems to be working well with that version.

The only functions that don't seem to be working now are the

is_dir
which returns the following errors
Warning: stat failed for \\downstairs\music. (errno=2 - No such file or directory)

Also the "stat" function doesn't return anything of use but it doesn't give an error.

It looks good so far though.

Thanks

works fine for me.
remember to either escape the backslashes or to use frontslashes.

var_dump(is_dir("\\\\ntserver14\\shared\\cameron"));
var_dump(lstat("//ntserver14/shared/cameron/myfile"));

No feedback, and it works fine for me (using escaped backslashes or forwardslashes).
