php write text file to windows file server

Question

Php is not my strong suit and I am getting an error I don't understand. I am using PHP 5.2 and drupal 6 is calling a php function with these contents.

I can successfully write a file to the server running this script but not to another Windows (file) server where I need the file to go.

Here is my php code:

try{
    $outputFile = "//myserver/dir1/dir2/dir_with_everybody_write_permission/print.txt";
    $fh = fopen($outputFile, 'w');
    $filecontents = "script to be written";
    fwrite($fh, $filecontents);
    fclose($fh);
} catch (Exception $e) {
    form_set_error('', t('File Write Error'));
}

My errors:

[function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\web\apache\htdocs\sites\all\modules\dirA\X.module on line 161.
warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in C:\web\apache\htdocs\sites\all\modules\dirA\X.module on line 164.
warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in C:\web\apache\htdocs\sites\all\modules\dirA\X.module on line 165. 

Why is it failing to open the filestream?

thank you for your consideration.

Answer 1

No such file or directory

I'd say you're writing to the wrong directory.
