Rename a dir

[Anon]

Hi,

I couldn't find any easy way to rename a directory that contains files.
The rename()-functions only works for files, or??

I searched thru the commands i the manual, but couldn't find any command. Please help!

Regards,

Martin

use move... =)
mv olddirname/ newdirname/

i've never played around with file-functions in php, so I can't give you an example or anything.. in linux, i always 'rename' directorys like this... so i guess this should work with php too, if not, you still have the option to execute the 'mv' command from within php

What would be the correct way to write it then?

I guess i have to use exec() so I wrote:

exec("mv ".$old_path."/ ".$new_path."/")
or die("Error");

old path was "/www/old" amd new path was "/www/new"

Noting happened. I didn't get any errors or anything.
