Junctions only work with directories, which is a step in the right direction, but definitely not as good as real symbolic links.

Wel from what I read their "symbolic links" only support directories. That's a half-ass done job IMHO. It should be possible to link anything. Directories, files, sockets, pipes, devices, what have ya. I guess that's the advantage of nixes... everything is pretty much a file and symbolic links for files are well implemented and supported :) Cheers, Rob. -- http://www.interjinn.com Application and Templating Framework for PHP -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

You can map a network location to a drive, and you can even map a folder to a drive... but I've never seen any way to map something to a folder (or file). If there is a solution, it's probably a complex registry hack that MIGHT work with your version of Windows. You can make shortcuts to locations, and drag/drop/click those shortcuts as if they were the actual folder/file... but as soon as you get out of the GUI, Windows doesn't know what to do with them. As for uploading outside of your web root--it's possible. You just need to give apache/IIS/whatever-your-web-server-is the proper permissions for the folder in question. I would recommend making an "uploads" folder one level above your web root if possible.

I have got this to work on my local dev machine but it doesn't seem to work on the live server. I have tried both the relative path and also the full path (from the $_SERVER[DOCUMENT_ROOT] variable). Now I can't get the upload to work and have no idea what the problem could be. I have also set the permissions of the folder, so that can't be a problem. Could it be a problem with server hosting restrictions? Or maybe the server is setup for virtual hosting? Thanks Angelo Hi Angelo, dev and live are the same Server/Machine type?
