PHP symlink() function fails on Windows 7 with the error:
Warning: symlink(): Cannot create symlink, error code(3) in C:\xampp\htdocs\…\lib\model\doctrine\Website.class.php
It's a XAMPP server on with PHP 5.3.8.
From the symlink() documentation:
5.3.0 This function is now available on Windows platforms (Vista, Server 2008 or greater).
Any ideas/suggestions?
Might be a bug in PHP 5.3 according to this:
https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=48975
and this:

Maybe you could upgrade to PHP 5.4 and see if it works?
I use this
//symlink($target, $link);
exec('mklink /j "' . str_replace('/', '\\', $link) . '" "' . str_replace('/', '\\', $target) . '"');
About PHP CLI on windows OS:
Do not forget to start the console with Run as Administrator else symlink will return false and raise the following error:
Warning: symlink(): Cannot create symlink, error code(1314)
