#35289 [NEW]: Win32 symlink unimplemented - could be easily

From: scott dot pascoe at gmail dot com Operating system: Windows XP PHP version: 5.0.5 PHP Bug Type: Directory function related Bug description: Win32 symlink unimplemented - could be easily Description: ------------ It is noted in the documentation that 'symlink' is unimplemented on the Win32 platform. It could be easily implemented for Windows 2000 and above OS's. I found that PostgresSQL implements them in the file src/port/dirmod.c. They refer to a codeproject article: http://www.codeproject.com/W2K/junctionpoints.asp as a reference. Reproduce code: --------------- mkdir('c:\test'); symlink('c:\junk', 'c:\test'); Expected result: ---------------- it would work on the Windows Platform Actual result: -------------- error unimplemented function -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=35289&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35289&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35289&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35289&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35289&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35289&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35289&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35289&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35289&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35289&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35289&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35289&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35289&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35289&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35289&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35289&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35289&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35289&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35289&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35289&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35289&r=mysqlcfg
