It is neccesary to be notified that readlink only works for a real link file, if this link file locates to a directory, you cannot detect and read its contents, the is_link() function will always return false and readlink() will display a warning is you try to do. Like the following codes: <?php //assume that A is a directory located in C:, B is a symlink to A, and A contents a file named C. echo is_link('B/C'); //false echo readlink('B/C'); //false and a warning will be displayed //instead, you should use realpath() function to get the real path of C echo realpath('B/C'); //C:\A\C ?> ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 182.91.179.152 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.readlink.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/120778 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120778/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120778/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120778/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120778/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120778/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120778/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120778 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/120778 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
