RE: [PHP] copy file from server to shared network folder
Thanks Rich Tom for all your help.
Adding a user for apache on the remote PC's or modifying the user in
httpd.conf did the trick.

While I don't claim to understand the Windows security model, or lack
thereof, when you 2x click on something in Windows, you are you.
When php does exec() php is *NOT* you.
PHP is running with the permissions of the User setting in httpd.conf,
whatever that means under Windows.
What it means to you is that PHP User probably does NOT have
permission to do what you are doing when you 2x click.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, if you are using exec() and you aren't
using the optional argument to find out what error number the
Operating System is giving you when it doesn't work, you're doing it
wrong. :-)

Hi everyone,
I can't seem to be able to copy a txt file from the server over to a
network
drive.
Server is apache on winxp and the remote PC is also running XP.
Remote folder is shared with all read/write rights enabled.
I also tried executing a bat file where the bat file contains the copy
command and that didn't work either.
2x clicking on the bat file works.
I tried
echo exec(c:\\test.bat);
and also
echo system (c:\\test.bat);
and
exec('c:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c START c:\test.bat');
and
exec('c:\\Windows\\system32\\cmd.exe /c START c:\\test.bat');
with no success.
The last 2 items did launch the cmd process.
Any ideas?

Apache won't have rights to access the network, you need to read:
