OS: Windows 7, PHP:5.3.2
When I make symlink to the local folder, everything works OK and I can get folder contents.

mklink /D linked_dir c:\real_dir\

Both PHP and cmd.exe dir show me files in linked_dir. But, when I make symlink to the shared drive

mklink /D linked_dir x:\php\

cmd.exe dir dosyaları gösterir ve php diyor ki:

[function.opendir]: failed to open dir. No such file or directory in ...

Does anyone know how to overcome this issue? is_link, readlink etc... also doesn't provide anything, as if PHP cannot understand directory links at all.
I really need to read by PHP shared folder contents linked to my local working directory.
