Example #1 Creating a simple hard link

to clarify:
in unix/linux:
hardlinks (by this function) cannot go across different filesystems.
softlinks can point anywhere.
in linux, hardlinking to directory is not permited.

Make link recursively :
<?php
function makeRecusLink($orig, $dest)
{
if (is_dir($orig)) {
if (substr($orig, -1) != '/') {
$orig .= '/';
}
$handle = opendir($orig);
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
if ($file != '.' && $file != '..') {
$path = $orig.$file;
if (is_file($path)) {
@link($path, $dest.'/'.$file);
} else if (is_dir($path)) {
@mkdir($dest.'/'.$file, 0755);
makeRecusLink($path, $dest.'/'.$file);
}
}
}
}
closedir($handle);
}
?>

For a backup utility I needed link-like functionality on a windows system. As it isn't availible on windows, i tried to do it myself with the help of some tools. All you need is junction.exe from sysinternals in your %PATH%.
<?php
if(!function_exists('link')){ // Assume a windows system
function link($target, $link){
if(is_dir($target)){
// junctions link to directories in windows
exec("junction $link $target", $lines, $val);
return 0 == $val;
}elseif(is_file($target)){
// Hardlinks link to files in windows
exec("fsutil hardlink create $link $target", $lines, $val);
return 0 == $val;
}
return false;
}
}
?>

I noticed that, differently from Unix ln command, the second parameter can?t be a directory name, i.e., if you want to create a link with the same filename of the target file (obviously on different directories), you must specify the filename on the link parameter.
Example:
Unix ln command:
ln /dir1/file /dir2/ // ok, creates /dir2/file link
PHP link function:
link ("/dir1/file", "/dir2/"); // wrong, gives a "File exists" warning
link ("/dir1/file", "/dir2/file"); // ok, creates /dir2/file link
