Hi I have used examples from David Powers books for finding and opening files on 'Y:\uploads' and appending to tables, which works fine on my PC running Apache, MySql and Php. BUT when I try the same on a BT web site I can't seem to see the Y:\ drive. The Php file that looks for the Y:\ is out side the root on local and BT. Is there some thing extra I have to do online or are BT blocking this? if they I can't see how. Regards BarryPosts:

Barry, if I'm understanding your issue, you'll need to replicate your local server's file structure (including your 'Y drive') on your remote server. It's not the norm (and indeed against some ISP's t&c) to host publicly accessible content on your local machine.
For eg. locally you might have Y:/uploads/ whereas you'll have say /public_html/uploads/ on the remote server, where 'public_html' is your BT hosting space.Posts:

Thanks for the reply. Thats not quite what I wanted. I wanted to reach out side the web site to my own Y:\ and import the content from those files to update web site MySql tables. But I think I'm expecting to much. So I will rely on an VB FTP program to automatically post the files to the web and then deal with them there. It works. Thanks again. PS Sorry I put my question into the wrong section.Posts:
