I created a symbolic link and then tried to use "is_link()" to verify that PHP recognized it. The function did not print anything to the screen -- not even a "0" to indicate a failure. I tried all kinds of things and then I realized that PHP may not be seeing the link at all... but rather the place where the link pointed to. So, I used "filetype()" on the link and it reported that the link was a directory! The link just happens to point to a directory... I don't think that's a coincidence.

Yes, it has bugs and needs a small cleanup.  I'll take a look
and while at it I'll also implement lstat().

Now it should work in CVS version and in to be released 3.0.4..
