Give some details on what specific error message you ran into. (No, there isn't an alternative PHP userland implementation for this system function. Use SSH or SFTP, or craft a CGI workaround if available.) – mario Feb 18 '15 at 17:51

If you can't provide a more precise decription, then please consult your hosting provider instead. – mario Feb 18 '15 at 18:02

You can do it as a exec command instead.
exec('ln -s /path/to/file /path/to/symlink');
