Description:
------------
On this page: http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.symlink.php
I get confused every time a read the following sentence:
"symlink() creates a symbolic link from the existing target with the
specified name link."
In my opinion, "from" is the wrong direction. Would it not be clearer
to say:
"symlink() creates a symbolic link named link that points to target.
Typically, target is a file or directory that already exists."
