title: PHP and Symlinks in Windows
body: <p>I have a directory tree with symlinks in it.  They are called with require_once, but sometimes they are referred to with 'm' and sometimes 'mydir'.  'm' and 'mydir' are symlinked, but when the require_once is called twice, it treats them as different files and the code errors.</p>
  
  <pre><code>require_once("m/myfile.php");
  require_once("mydir/myfile.php);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I only want the file included once but it tries to do it twice.</p>
