Description:
------------
The symlink() function changes its behaviour depending on the ZTS
define. If ZTS is not defined, all are created relative, if ZTS is
enabled, the parameters are evaluated to actual absolute directories and
thus are created absolute. This is different behaviour and should be at
least documented in a proper way.
Reproduce code:
---------------
symlink("..", "testlink");
Expected result:
----------------
Depending on enabled or disabled ZTS the symlink will be created
relative (pointing to "..") or absolute (e.g. if currently in
"/tmp/test/phptest" pointing to "/tmp/test"). If the link (or the
directory containing it) is being moved/renamed later, the latter can
lead to a broken link while the first cannot.
