This package can retrieve the letters of the drives on Windows.

There is a class that can retrieve the list of all drive letters for assigned or unassigned drives using WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) interface.

Another class can retrieve the details of each drive like the drive type, the network name, and whether it is a compact disk (CD), local disk, network drive, RAM disk, or a removable disk.

/****************************************************************************************************

        This example demonstrates how to use the various methods of the LogicalDrives class.

     ****************************************************************************************************/
   
require ( 'LogicalDrives.phpclass' ) ;

    if (
php_sapi_name ( ) != 'cli' )
        echo (
"<pre>" ) ;

   
$ld = new LogicalDrives ( ) ;

   
// Show assigned drive letters, with their label
    // Note that the $ld object can be accessed as an array, providing the drive letter as an index
    // (the drive letter can be followed by an optional semicolon and is not case-sensitive)
   
echo ( "Assigned drives :\n" ) ;

    foreach (
$ld -> GetAssignedDrives ( ) as $drive_letter )
        echo (
"\t$drive_letter ({$ld [ $drive_letter ] -> VolumeName})\n" ) ;

   
// Show unassigned drives
   
echo ( "Unassigned drives : " . implode ( ', ', $ld -> GetUnassignedDrives ( ) ) . "\n" ) ;

   
// Next available drive letter
   
echo ( "Next available drive : " . $ld -> GetNextAVailableDrive ( ) . "\n" ) ;
