[SOLVED] Warning: rename(test1.old,test1.txt) [function.rename]: Permission denied

[Maq]

I have a function that is supposed to write/update a file and, if the user clicks on the checkbox ($use), rename the file.  Everything works fine until it invokes the rename method.  I've closed the file handle, changed its mode to 777, tried to delete the file and create one but still gives the same "Permission denied" error.  Any ideas what could be causing this?  Thanks.

 

Error:

Warning: rename(test1.old,test1.txt) [function.rename]: Permission denied in /usr/local/websites/**********/campaign_editor.php on line 84

 

Code:

 

function updateFile($name, $ids_array, $use) {

$myFile = (file_exists($name.".old")) ? $name .".old" : $name .".txt";
$newFile = ($use != "") ? $name.".txt" : $name.".old";
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'w') or die("can't open file");
for($i=0; $i{
if($ids_array[$i] != "") {
	$stringData = "$ids_array[$i]\n";
	fwrite($fh, $stringData);
}
}
fclose($fh);
rename($myFile, $newFile);
}

Sorry for anyone who spent time trying to solve this issue.  I learned that the problem was with the pertaining directory's permissions.  It did not permit me to change the name of the file.
