      Parameters: 
  
      
      
      	path
    	
 
    	Source symbolic link path
      	pri
    	
 
    	The request priority: EIO_PRI_DEFAULT, EIO_PRI_MIN, EIO_PRI_MAX, or NULL. If NULL passed, pri internally is set to EIO_PRI_DEFAULT. 
      	callback
    	
 
    	 callback function is called when the request is done. It should match the following prototype: 
void callback(mixed $data, int $result[, resource $req]);

<?php
$filename = dirname(__FILE__)."/symlink.dat";
touch($filename);
$link = dirname(__FILE__)."/symlink.link";
$hardlink = dirname(__FILE__)."/hardlink.link";
function my_hardlink_cb($data, $result) {
    global $link, $filename;
    var_dump(file_exists($data) && !is_link($data));
    @unlink($data);
    eio_symlink($filename, $link, EIO_PRI_DEFAULT, "my_symlink_cb", $link);
}
function my_symlink_cb($data, $result) {
    global $link, $filename;
    var_dump(file_exists($data) && is_link($data));
    if (!eio_readlink($data, EIO_PRI_DEFAULT, "my_readlink_cb", NULL)) {
        @unlink($link);
        @unlink($filename);
    }
}
function my_readlink_cb($data, $result) {
    global $filename, $link;
    var_dump($result);
    @unlink($link);
    @unlink($filename);
}
eio_link($filename, $hardlink, EIO_PRI_DEFAULT, "my_hardlink_cb", $hardlink);
eio_event_loop();
?>
 The above example will output something similar to:
bool(true) bool(true) string(16) "/tmp/symlink.dat"
