Re: ToolkitAPI shows as SYMLNK

[Don Brown <DBrown@xxxxxxxxxx>]

How do I see the contents of the symbolic link ?

If I use option 5 against the SYMLNK I get message Object not found. 
Object is /usr/local/zendphp7/share/ToolkitAPI.

If I look on a 7.2 box I have the following directories in 
/usr/local/zendphp7/share
ToolkitAPI             DIR 
UserServer             DIR 
ZendFramework          DIR 
ZendFramework2         DIR 

But on the 7.3 new install I have in /usr/local/zendphp7/share 
ToolkitAPI             SYMLNK
UserServer             DIR 
ZendFramework          SYMLNK
ZendFramework2         SYMLNK

I do not think this is goint to work ?

Or am I totally missing something ?

Typically open source stuff that could be updated follows this pattern.  
I can't say definitively for PHP,  but I can say things like node.js and 
other languages will have a symlink so that an update can change the 
symlink to a new location or binary.  That change is less invasive than 
overlaying an install or changing PATH's.  And, that usually give you 
the option to quickly change something back by just changing the symlink.

Is there an issue with the Toolkit, or are you just curious?
