I'm not sure 2k/xp are worst a hack, but 2k8/vista/win7 have real symlinks support.

The problem occurs when the symlink (typically used by Vista/Server 2008) is a folder or a file, or a folder junction (Used by WinXP/2K) is used. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-03-24 22:55:59] pajoye@php.net Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php5.3-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://windows.php.net/snapshots/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-03-24 22:43:18] lukemoynihan at gmail dot com Description: ------------ PHP does not resolve symlinks (On Vista) or Junctions (windows 2000) on windows when including files Create index.php and test.php as shown below, then create a symlink on Vista using: mklink test2.php test.php Note: this test case illustrates symlinks, but that Junctions created on NTFS volumes also have this problem.
