Hi all, I am running PHP4/APACHE/WIN98 I am trying to do a fopen on COM1 and I get permission denied as shown below. Warning: fopen("COM1","r+") - Permission denied in c:\web\test.php on line 16 Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in c:\web\test.php on line 17 I have been told by someone on this NG to change the permissions on COM1... PLEASE tell me how to do this, I really really need to know... Eagerly awaiting your generous response!
