How can PHP be used to read folders on a network drive?
To read folders on a network drive using PHP, you can use the `scandir()` function along with the network path to the folder. Make sure that the PHP script has the necessary permissions to access the network drive. You may need to provide credentials or configure the server to have access to the network resources.
$networkPath = '\\\\server\\share\\folder';
$files = scandir($networkPath);
foreach ($files as $file) {
echo $file . "<br>";
}
