Rename () function in PHP

The PHP filesystem function, the rename () function renames the file or directory, and if successful, the function returns True. If it fails, it returns false.

Statement: rename (oldname,newname,context)

Parameter description

Oldname required, specifies the file or directory to be renamed.

NewName required to specify a new name for the file or directory.

Context is required to specify the context of the file handle, and the context is a set of options for modifying the behavior of the stream.

Note: rename () cannot rename files across disk partitions in a *nix-based system until PHP 4.3.3.

Note: The encapsulation protocols used in oldname must match those used in newname.

Note: Support for the context is added by PHP 5.0.0.

<?php rename ("Images", "pictures");//phpfensi.com?>

OldPath----The original path of the file or directory, $newpath----The new defined path, then rename ($oldpath, $newpath) can complete the file/directory move operation, after my test, This feature is supported in the PHP4 versions of Win32 and UNIX.

In addition, as if PhP4 's Win32 version cancels the unlink () function, you can also use the rename () function to complete the removal operation, for example:

$path----file or directory path

$TMP----tmp directory (/tmp)

Move the file to the TMP directory with rename ($path, $tmp).
