Answer 1

This has nothing to do specific to PHP IMO if you're okay with mounting the Windows share on the Linux box using the following mount command:

mount -t cifs -o username=WINDOWS_USER_NAME \\\\\\\\hostname\\\\sharename /mnt/myshare

Then you should be able to read the files in the share from /mnt/myshare just like any other file within your PHP script.
