Problem reading network dir

[jaccoswart]

Hi,

I just have the following problem:

I'm currently busy writing a script that reads my film collection stored on my computer. The network drive is shared on the network and does not use a password. When I use the NMT and use the network browser everything works and I see all the directories. I also create a link to the network dir.

PHP Code:

#!/mnt/syb8634/server/php5-cgi
echo shell_exec('ls -l /opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/NETWORK_SHARE/'); 


gives:

drwxr-xr-x 4 531 500 0 May 27 2009 ..
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 0 Jun 13 08:22 muziek
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 0 Jun 13 08:22 films
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 0 Jun 13 08:22 NETWORK_BROWSER
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 0 Jun 13 08:22 .

However when I do

PHP Code:

#!/mnt/syb8634/server/php5-cgi
echo shell_exec('ls -l /opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/NETWORK_SHARE/films'); 


I get

drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 0 Jun 13 08:22 ..
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 0 Jun 13 08:22 .

and I don't see any other directories.
It drives my crazy, it sounds like something with premissions, however running in 8883 mode I should have full root access.

How do I get to my files using php?

-l only shows information like permissions, owners, size, and when last modified

try with no switch or -a if you want to show all folders

Sorry, I copy pasted the code wrongly I already used the -lart.

Some extra info, I'm trying to get to a Vista share. If I go map the public folder on Vista I can get the directory listing using PHP.

Is the normal browser of NMT using samba to get to the windows share and is that the reason that I can't get to my other shared directories when using php?

UPDATE:

I just found out why it didn't work..... Somehow you need to add everybody to the permission list in Vista to get PHP the correct privileges to see the directory listing, although it already works before in the normal NMT browser.
