	      Creating a simple hard link

	      <?php
	      $target = 'source.ext'; // This is the file that already exists
	      $link = 'newfile.ext'; // This the filename that you want to link it to

	      link($target, $link);

       Note

	       For Windows only: This function requires PHP to run in an elevated mode or with the UAC disabled.
