 New Comment:

I'm not expecting this strange behavior, in fact I have experienced that
in my test case the function rename() it's not executed.
I think that this behavior is php version-related, because on newer php
version the job is done exactly as expected.
This is my phpinfo() http://torms.hellospace.net/zzz/php.php
Happy Christmas to all the php developer!
Regards, Tommaso

Why are you expecting rename() to fail in this case?

Even if $file was open when rename() was called (and it's not, in this
case), that doesn't prevent a file being renamed on most operating
systems, Linux included.

Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.rename
---
This function should return false on error during file renomination, but
in my test script inclusion is executed but renomination it's not
executed (no output, expected output:0).

Test script:
---------------
$file = getcwd()."/test.php";
$file2 = $file.".inc";

if (file_exists($file))
{  include $file;
   echo rename($file,$file2);
}
