Started apache+php. But the problem is the same. I opened a command prompt. e:\foo\bar>mklink 5.jpg 1.jpg then 5.jpg created and i can view with irfanview. e:\anything\something>mklink "../../foo/bar/5.jpg" "../../foo/bar/1.jpg" (without " it says invalad parameter: --) then 6.jpg created and I cannot open it with irfanview and cannot see it's content(Total commander Lister(F3)) Interesting. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-07-19 13:46:12] pajoye@php.net Doh, I misread your code. Please read again the doc about symlink, the arguments in your code are in the wrong order (then the error is actually clear). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-07-19 13:35:09] celkaprog at gmail dot com Soory I mistaken the eleveted word. It's running with admin rights.(right click run as administrator.). The problem is not solved. I'll try to run as different user (Administrator) but I don't think that it will be good with that because this account is a member of administrators group. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-07-19 11:27:59] pajoye@php.net You have to be under an elevated user to create links (not a php restriction, but the underlying API/Function). You can try it using the console as well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-07-19 11:22:27] celkaprog at gmail dot com No,it's running with my account.No service.I can write that folder with php (file upload is working too there). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
