rename a file using php

[tested_123]

i have to rename a file placed inside a folder and i have to rename it  using a function and not just have to use "rename" function.i have to make a function like this

 

function rename($dirpath,$oldfilename,$newfilename)

 

and this function must be recursive and a directory can contain subdirectory also.the opration will be like this......

there will a text box where i will enter old file name and in another text box i will enter new file name and when i press submit it will rename that file placed inside that folder........i need it urgently

thanx in advance

Try one of these:

 

rename('/path1/old_filename', '/path2/new_filename'); 

 

rename('$OLD', '$NEW'); 

 

rename('.$OLD.', '.$NEW.'); 

 

rename($OLD, $NEW); 

 

Sorry my PHP isn't the best.

 

Good Luck :-)
