[Resolved] Renaming Directory

[ghjrbrasil]

Having troubles to rename a directory:

rename("../$olddirectory/","../$newdirectory/");

Gives me a permission denied error even though I have permissions (my delete directory script gets by).

Any suggestions?

Try chmoding the directory to 777.

Hmm, I tried chmoding it and it still gives me permission error. This is strange cause my directory delete script works, and all it does it chmod the directory then deletes it...

Anyway, here is what my rename directory scriot looks so far:

chmod("../$oldname/",0777);
rename("../$oldname/","../$newname/");

and this is the error returned:

Warning: rename() failed (Permission denied) in /home/editar_dir.php on line 214

Any ideas?? Am I using the wrong function here??

try using full path ..

rename("/home/public_html/$oldname", "/home/public_html/$newname");

you should not need to chmod a directory to rename ..

Did that and it still didn't work, then... all of a sudden... I noticed that the $olddirectory variable wasn't getting sent correctly to the script hehe 🙂

Thanks for the help anyways guys.
