Hi everybody,
Support for Windows symlinks may be forthcoming in Solar, pending future tests based on this article: <http://www.maxi-pedia.com/mklink> Has anyone here tried the `mklink` Windows command as described therein? -- Paul M.

I have created a symlink in windows 7. I have not tested the
functionality via a web server like apache, though. What I do know is that you have to run the command as an administrator and this doesn't seem to be the same as being an admin user. I had to start the command prompt as administrator (right click, run as administrator).

Hi All.
Is it possible to use another approach for windows boxes? I recognize the power of symlinks in unix boxes, but for taking full advantage of the solar cli tool in a windows environment, I think that another approach should be taken besides symlinks... Any idea or recommendation? From my experience, I always had to set manually the folder environment, loosing the code generation feature of the solar-cli. Thank you. ____________________________ Edwin F. López A. ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ 2009/9/29 Jon Elofson <jon.elofson@...>: > I have created a symlink in windows 7.

I am running Solar alpha4 w/ZendServer CE and have manually created the

For pre-Vista compatibility you may want to look into the 'subst' cmd, could use fsutil for hard links, and then there is also a sysinternals tool called junction... so perhaps some checks for the os and php version and then have it use the appropriate cmd or php func as needed.

Hi Raymond/All.
So, how can we develop a solution that could be deployable *anywhere* (I mean, Operating System as indepent as possible, and assuming I'm developing in Linux/*BSD where I can trust solar-cli) ? What would be your best recommendation? Manually creating the folder infrastructure can be cumbersome, and I (personally) prefer using my time working in the solution, instead of setting folder structures. Any thoughts? Thank you. ____________________________ Edwin F.

For symlinks, I would suggest using PHP's symlink() function. If you
want support for symlinks on Windows, make sure you haev PHP 5.3+ and you are running Vista/2008+ for your server. I think we only need to add support for the most likely setups (for now), which would be *nix, Vista/2008. I am open to hear what other people think. Ray Kolbe Edwin F.

My two cents,
Well, here's the thing. I'm sure it is safe to say that most if not all of us using Solar are throwing it on unix and probably wonder who the heck are these people running web-sites on IIS and such. Believe it or not, it's quite a bit. There is a push for PHP to be more friendly on IIS and I keep seeing Microsoft pushing to be more open source friendly (in their own kind of way). I see things like this: http://news.netcraft.com/archives/web_server_survey.html and I wonder about how accurate that is, but regardless, the numbers for Microsoft I don't think are anything to sneeze at and I doubt most of those are Vista/2008. I love Solar and personally, I would like to see it become as popular as possible and I would love to see it be just as smooth a setup for everyone, including the Windows setups.

In Solar/Cli/MakeVendor.php (and where symlinks are made), you could
support Windows (Vista/2008) by doing something like this (around line 201): // Support for Windows NT 6.0 and 6.1 if (substr(strtolower(php_uname('s')), 0, 3) == 'win' && php_uname('r') >= 6) { $cmd = "cd $system/$dir & mklink /D $src $tgt"; } else { $cmd = "cd $system/$dir; ln -s $src $tgt"; } I have not tested this out yet, but everything looks like it should work. As mentioned before, if we were to support Windows XP and 2000 (NT 5.x), we would need to check a few different things to see if the environment supports creating symlinks (in most cases it will not). I stand by my opinion, until persuaded otherwise, that supporting NT 5.x wouldn't be worth it. Ray Kolbe Edwin F.

I think providing support through the symlink function with warnings
if your environment doesn't look like it will work is a great first step. Anything beyond that would be nice I am sure but its more "gravy"..

Support for Windows systems previous to NT6 will also be good, but it seems like a more uncertain enterprise. Regarding the symlink() function in PHP 5.3 -- does anyone know if it works on Windows systems prior to NT6? Keep in mind that one of the corollary issues is that we need make relative symlinks ("../../foo") not absolute ones ("c:\path\to\foo") so that git and svn checkouts don't depend on a particular directory setup outside the Solar system. -- Paul M.
