This is what I found:

     #include <unistd.h>

     int
     symlink(const char *name1, const char *name2);

Now I am guessing
I have to put a file in to each directory or do I have to put a file in
to the "images" directory and it will link all files and sub-directorys?

What do i call that file?
index.php maybe?

What do I enter in to this file?
This maybe:

#include <unistd.h>
int
symlink(const char *, const char /immages/*);


I think I am totaly lost now.
