Bug #68167 [NEW]: Can't create a relative symlink without changing dir
From: nathan dot renniewaldock at gmail dot com
Operating system: Windows 7
PHP version: 5.4.33
Package: Filesystem function related
Bug Type: Bug
Bug description:Can't create a relative symlink without changing dir
Description:
------------
symlink() fails to create a relative link if the working dir is not the
same as where the link is going (works correctly on Linux). Relative
targets should be resolved from the dir the link will be. For now, my
workaround is calling mklink through shell_exec.
Test script:
---------------
<?php
file_put_contents("test.txt", time());
mkdir("a");
echo "symlink(): ";
symlink("..\\test.txt", "a\\1.txt") && print("success\n");
echo "\nmklink: ".shell_exec("mklink a\\2.txt ..\\test.txt");
echo "\nchdir(), symlink(): ";
chdir("a");
symlink("..\\test.txt", "3.txt") && print("success\n");
Actual result:
--------------
C:\php-test>php a.php
symlink(): PHP Warning: symlink(): Could not fetch file
information(error 2) in C:\php-test\a.php on line 7
Warning: symlink(): Could not fetch file information(error 2) in
C:\php-test\a.php on line 7
mklink: symbolic link created for a\2.txt <<===>> ..\test.txt
chdir(), symlink(): success
C:\php-test>dir a
Directory of C:\php-test\a
