How to Access intranet/lan directories

Post by leea »

Hi,

I have a WinXP, Apache, PHP setup.

I need to access a directory on the intranet with my php page.

\\othercomputer\accessthisDir

What happens is windows xp allows me to access the file, but apacheForWindows wont recognise anything outside its "diskspace". Infact it ignores ALL external directory requests from any programs if they are run initially from the apache platform.

Is there a way to access directories/files on remote computers in apache for windows?

I saw a bit about virtual directories, but will this work for virtual remote directories? im assuming it wont since we are still in the apache environment.

Thanks
