This isn't restricted to Windows XP but also affects other versions. I've tested Windows
Vista and Windows Server 2008, both have this same problem.

Description:
------------
Hi,
rename ( 'file1', 'file2' );
behaviour at linux:
If there is a 'file2', the file2 will be overwritten by file1.
at windows xp:
If there is a 'file2', a warning is given and the file2 isn't overwritten with file1.
Reproduce code:
---------------
rename ( 'file1', 'file2' );
Expected result:
----------------
I would expect, that rename() works with the same behaviour at all operating systems.
So, please overwrite existing files or give a warning at all os.
Actual result:
--------------
rename()
at linux, existing files will be overwritten, at winxp, the rename-process fails, a php-warning is
given.
