I'm experiencing a pretty frustrating problem. Im not that knowledgable with UNIX permissions but I don't think that's the issue. Im using symlink() to create these softlinks, which I know are being created because they show up as an alias in the proper directory on the server, and when I user readlink() it prints the correnct value. but when i try it in the URL, it can't find anything the target.
<?php
$symlink = 'abcd';
symlink("gallery/artist_gallery.php?user=".$uid, $symlink);
?>
<?php
echo readlink('abcd');
//outputs gallery/artist_gallery.php?user=50207
?>
domain.com/abcd however does not work
Thanks in advance for any help.
