drive list

[BB101]

How can I get a list of drives on the server from PHP.

I know I can do it with a filesystem object, but I'd like to avoid com if at all possible!

Thanks

Going with an OS-specific solution like COM may be the only way to do it.

PHP is developed on a unix-like OS and ported to Win32. Unix-like OSes do not support the quaint idea of drive letters.

I did expect to see one on php.net though, and I did end up using a com call to scripting.filesystem (

Anyway, for anyone who cares:

$fso = new COM("Scripting.FileSystemObject"
$drives = $fso->Drives;
$drives = $drives->Next($drives->Count);
$first = true;
foreach ($drives as $drive) {
echo $drive->DriveLetter.&quot;<br>&quot;;
}

All the other drive properties from fso can be used too.
