By default the Apache2 service logs in as local system account,
which doesn't have permission to read files in a fileshare.

You would have to run the Apache2 service as a user which has
access to network resources and the file shares you want it to
access. Open the services console, stop the Apache2 service,
change its login / signon properties and start it again.

By the way, forward slashes are preferred in directory paths
within Apache and PHP.
