Doc #71075 [NEW]: Update rename() docs to mention Windows-specific permissions issues

From: info at mikekeran dot com Operating system: Windows PHP version: 5.5.30 Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:Update rename() docs to mention Windows-specific permissions issues Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.rename --- "Attempts to rename oldname to newname, moving it between directories if necessary. If newname exists, it will be overwritten." If newname is read-only, Windows will return an access denied error while Linux will overwrite the file, as expected. I suggest adding the following to the above description: "On Windows, newname must be writable to be overwritten. On Linux, the containing directory must be writable, regardless of the permissions on newname." If that is too wordy or detailed, I suggest just adding the first sentence.
