link

bool link(string link, string original) 

Creates a hard link.

Returns:

TRUE on success; FALSE on error

Description:

link() creates a hard link, if permissions allow, from the original file to the link. This function doesn’t work on systems not supporting links (for example, Windows only supports shortcuts).

Example:

Create a hard link

$path = "/home/user/orig_file"; $path_new = "/home/user/link_file"; link($path_new, $path);
