Re: Re: [PHP-DEV] FEATURE REQUEST: symlinks under NT

As I said they are directory junctions, but they work like symlinks. I wanted to ask if you could include it in one of the next versions of PHP, because I don't know much about programming in C. In the meantime I wrote a PHP script that executes the tool mentioned below and processes the output, but that's not very fast. I think it should be faster if the required code would be included in PHP itself. I know that Apache 2.x recognizes junctions under NT (Options FollowSymlinks). It would be nice to have the code included in PHP. Thanks in advance, Timo Weingärtner -----Original Message----- From: Zeev Suraski [mailto:zeev@zend.com] Sent: Samstag, 6.

They only work with directories as far as I know, which renders them significantly less useful than UNIX symlinks.
