FILE and UNC paths

[skiflyer]

I have a function which reads files and gets some information out of them... before I called...

file("

http://server/blah/blah/info.txt");

now that URL is no longer available to me, and I need to use a UNC path
file("\\\\theserver\\thedirectory\\info.txt"

but this doesn't seem to be working, can anyone suggest a method to get the same results from php as the above working example?

Thanks,
Rob

Map a driver letter?

Will try, though I'm starting to think this may be a permissions issue... it is windows, so everything is a permissions issue it seems. Map a drive letter, sure but this user can't see it, use UNC sure, but don't go cross domain, well at least not in that direction... groan! If UNC's work I'll post it, if they don't I'll post a workaround. Thanks for the idea.
