Hi all!
I’m new in PHP, so I hope my question does not hears fool.
I need to change the name of a file in a webserver (Linux).
I wrote a file like this, upload it to the server, put it on the same folder as the rest, but nothing happens.
The permissions for the folder and files have all of them, execute rigths…
It seems that it needs something to make execute the order in this file…
I’m missing some aditional step?
Thanks for any help…
Javier

Just like with the unlink function which deletes files, the rename function most likely fails because of file permissions.
