Call to undefined function illuminate\filesystem\symlink()

Error: Call to undefined function illuminate\filesystem\symlink()

An “undefined function” error typically occurs when you try to call a function that has not been defined or is not available in the current scope. In this case, you are trying to call the function symlink() from the illuminate\filesystem namespace, but it is unable to locate the function in the code.

To fix this error, you need to ensure that the function is properly defined and accessible in your code. Here are a few possible solutions:

1. Check if the function is available in the library or framework you are using. Ensure that you have imported or included the necessary files or dependencies.
2. Verify that you have installed any required packages or dependencies for the function. In this case, the symlink() function might be provided by a specific package or library, such as Laravel’s Illuminate Filesystem component. Make sure you have installed the necessary dependencies and configured your project correctly.
3. Double-check your code for any misspellings or errors, such as incorrect namespaces or function names. Ensure that you are using the correct syntax when calling the function.

Here’s an example of how you might use the symlink() function in Laravel:

    
      use Illuminate\Filesystem\Filesystem;
      
      $filesystem = new Filesystem();
      $filesystem->symlink('path/to/original', 'path/to/symlink');
