Faking Symlinks on Windows (Win2K + NTFS) Every once in a while I'll bang my head against something really difficult. I needed to make symlinks, Windows won't let me. The workaround is a couple files in the Win2K Resource Kit called linkd.exe and delrp.exe http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q205524 It only works on folders as far as I can tell, there is another program from SysInternals called Junction which will do both (although I only had success with files, not folders). http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/source/misc.shtml#junction I hope this helps those who have experienced this same problem. One step closer to portable applications :) -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.symlink.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+18867 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+18867 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+18867
