[SOLVED] rename path problem

[Exoon]

Hello,

 

Im trying to rename a directory when a user types in a new game name but keep getting an error saying directory dosent exist but it does.

 

  
<?php
$olddir = "/home/gamer/domains/247gamer/public_html/images/game/$game_console/$game_name2";
$newdir = "/home/gamer/domains/247gamer/public_html/images/game/$game_console/$updated_game_name1";

rename("$olddir", "$newdir")

 

Im getting the following error:

 

Warning: rename(/home/gamer/domains/247gamer/public_html/images/game/ps3/Oliver223,/home/gamer/domains/247gamer/public_html/images/game/ps3/Oliver2234) [function.rename]: No such file or directory in /home/gamer/domains/247gamer/public_html/admin/edit_game.php on line 82

 

I have chmodded images, game, every console and every game name to test it but still says the directory dosent exist.

 

Am i not using it right or somthing, i made a test putting an image in the same directory as the script and that worked fine.

 

Hope some1 can help.

 

thanks

I'm not sure if this will work, but maybe try:

$olddir = "../images/game/$game_console/$game_name2";
$newdir = "../images/game/$game_console/$updated_game_name1";

if( is_dir( $olddir ) )
    rename("$olddir", "$newdir");
else
    echo "Folder doesn't exist.";

It just says Folder doesn't exist.

 

But the folder does exist.

Is Oliver223 a file or a folder and is it actually Oliver223 or oliver223?

 

If it's a folder, you need a trailing slash / and if you are on a case-sensitive operating system, the letter-case must match exactly.

Hello,

 

 

I added a trailing slash and it worked! thanks for the help!
