is this a permission issue? if so is there a way to add a username and password?

PHP Code:

$filename = "\\\\server1\\tobyworkspace\\Test Document Library\\test.txt"; 

$mystring = fopen($filename, "w"); 

$test = fwrite($mystring, "Test"); 

fclose($mystring); 

Code:

Warning: fopen(\\server1\tobyworkspace\Test Document Library\test.txt) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\copytest.php on line 3

This is what you have written: $filename = "\\\\server1\\tobyworkspace\\Test Document Library\\test.txt"; ... Try this instead: $filename = "/server1/tobyworkspace/Test Document Library/test.txt";

is that going to work? the file is on a windows server

It's my belief that php can only work within its web directory and any files located outside of that are unaccessible. Then again i could be wrong.

To edit files out side of the web directory structure you'll have to use perl.

you can use php-cURL to access any file remotely and then edit it though your script must need permission for this so keep your txt file chmod 777

This line: $filename = "/server1/tobyworkspace/Test Document Library/test.txt"; tells me that there is a file named test.txt in a folder called /server1/tobyworkspace/Test Document Library/ that resides in your web space. If this location "/server1/tobyworkspace/Test Document Library/test.txt exists somewhere other than your web space then you must specify the full URL like:
Http://someURL.com/server1/tobyworkspace/Test Document Library/test.txt.
Do you understand?

php can work with files outside the server root, i just tested it

as far as i know, windows dosn't have permissions, owners or groups. Could you post your folder structure? that would make it a little easier.

Actually, the PHP pages on a windows server are executed by a special IIS account, with limited rights. You have to give that IIS account specific access to a folder outside of the www-root.

Yeah, I just went a whole other way. The files were not only on a windows server, but were controlled by sharepoint, so they were double crap.

This line: $filename = "/server1/tobyworkspace/Test Document Library/test.txt"; tells me that there is a file named test.txt in a folder called /server1/tobyworkspace/Test Document Library/ that resides in your web space. If this location "/server1/tobyworkspace/Test Document Library/test.txt exists somewhere other than your web space then you must specify the full URL like:

I never said that was the path to the server. I said it was \\server1\ which is the windows server, but no matter either way cause I dont want to mess with sharepoint and its MSSQL file storage crap.

Thanks to everyone that posted.

If you mess a bit with Sharepoint, you can easily see where you have to insert information in the MSSQL database so to not screw up things. But I'm afraid I don't remember exactly which tables they were. A couple of years back, I did some integration between a corporate intranet and Sharepoint. Worked well, so it's not impossible
