Description:
------------
Access denied on a simple file_put_contents 
- the strange thing is vbscript test file on the same folder works 
- destination has everyone->modify/read/write.

localhost/test.asp
localhost/test.php

i think it is not relevant but test.php and test.asp are located on the same \\share that we're trying to save the file to (but on a different folder). Apparently it works if we map this share to a local drive and use the local path (eg. E:\ );

file_get_contents works fine.

We are using Windows 2003 Server x64, IIS 6.0, PHP 5.3RC04 x64 via MS FastCGI .




Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
file_put_contents("\\\\share\\intraroot$\\folder\\file.txt", "...");
?>

Expected result:
----------------
file saved with content "..."

Actual result:
--------------
PHP Warning:  file_put_contents(\\share\intraroot$\folder\file.txt): failed to open stream: Permission denied in ...

How did you install php? FCGI or ISAPI?
 [2009-07-08 15:13 UTC] trutas dot ctx at gmail dot com 
Note:
test.php is located at \\share\intraroot$\site\

i've just tested it further and tryed a few workarounds:
- it doesn't work with relative path (since both files are within the same share) "..\\folder\\file.txt";
- it doesn't work with dirname(__FILE__)."\\..\\folder\\file.txt";
- does not work with forward slashes //share/...
- the error is "permission denied" even if the destination folder doesn't exist - i've found this because at a time i had wrongly typed \\\\share\\intraroot$folder\\file.txt - that does not exist;

I'm guessing it has something to do with the home directory in IIS being on a remote share - the production servers are clustered...

Every other technology (vbscript, .NET) on IIS accesses the shares normally.

FastCGI

Be sure that you configured the user correctly or that the user has the correct access.

i have installed and configured as recommended at http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/247/using-fastcgi-to-host-php-applications-on-iis-60/

can i further configure the FastCGI/PHP user anywhere else? 

IIS user is configured correctly (- home directory with Run as trustedDomain\iisuser) and the destination folder has trustedDomain\iisuser modify and everyone modify .

don't know if it helps, but here are some example details from phpinfo();
_SERVER["APPL_MD_PATH"]	/LM/W3SVC/1897346991/Root/webservices/Cacher
_SERVER["APPL_PHYSICAL_PATH"]	\\ptlisi020dat\intraroot$\CIO\Webservices\Cacher\

I haven't tried using APPL_MD_PATH, but with APPL_PHYSICAL_PATH it doesn't work.

Is this also reproducable on PHP 5.3.2?

Apparently it's ok now.

I have no idea what solved it and whether it was the administration team changed 
something on permissions/users or the PHP Version update :/

Thanks
