Renaming a image file

[markyoung1984]

I have the following code:

$temp1 = 'images\prodinitial\copimage.jpg';

$temp2 = 'images\prodinitial\copimage_1.jpg';

 

rename($temp1,$temp2);

 

Even if I try double back slash (to account for the escape sequence), I still get the error "[function.rename]: No such file or directory"

 

I'm working on a Windows machine with XAMPP.  Its driving me crazy and I can't see whats wrong.  The file the command is being launched from is in the same folder as the images folder that the command references.  Why is it so hard to simply rename a file?

If the script is in the same file as the images folder, this would work:

 

            $temp1 = '\prodinitial\copimage.jpg';
            $temp2 = '\prodinitial\copimage_1.jpg';

            rename($temp1,$temp2);

 

If you want to use the paths you would need to use the full paths and should look at $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] for that.

try this:

if(!is_dir('images')) die("images doesn't exist");
if(!is_dir('images/prodinitial')) die("images/prodinitial doesn't exist");
$temp1 = 'images/prodinitial/copimage.jpg';
$temp2 = 'images/prodinitial/copimage_1.jpg';
rename($temp1,$temp2);
