I got it to work but im having problems with the permissions...
Warning: rename(,2314.txt) [function.rename]: Permission denied in C:\website\flamerail\edit\rename.php on line 15
Any ideas?

[code]<?php
switch ($_GET['action']) {
case rname;
print '<form action="?action=rname&filename="'.$_GET['filename'].'" method="post">
rename to<input name="rnamed" type="text" /> <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" /></form>';
if ($_GET['action'] == "rname"){
if (isset($rnamed)) {
$original = $_GET['filename'];
rename($original, $rnamed);
} else {
print "No rename specified!";
}
} else {
print "action rname not true";
}
break;
}
?>[/code]

it means that the file does not allow the required permissions to modify (ie, rename) the file. take a look at [a href=\"http://www.php.net/chmod\" target=\"_blank\"]http://www.php.net/chmod[/a] for more on permissions

The server is windows... it dosnt support chmod. Would I need to copy the file with a new name then unlink the old.... :S

No ideas?

probably a stupid blank guess here, but is it possible, that you are trying to get the file to access your root directory, and the file is in a sub directory if so you will probably have to add some more commands, to get it to find the sub directory?? just a guess.

There both in a subdirectory... edit.php is in the same dir as the file im trying to rename.

you may have to rebuild that section for it to work right.
