Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-05-30 19:29:24] philip at cornado dot com Unlike copy(), rename() doesn't work across partitions and generates an error similar to: Warning: rename() failed (Cross-device link) in foo.php This works in Windows, not linux. The rename() docs do not mention anything about partitions (or that it behaves like a native rename()), so this can be seen as a bug. BC shouldn't be a concern. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=23913&edit=1
