Re: Rename problem

You need to look at the permissions of the file. the php script runs under the user the web server runs under. So if the file is not in rwx by the user or group the web server runs under then you can't write to it. Actually this is not a php question really. You should read http://www.gnu.org/manual/fileutils/html_chapter/fileutils_3.html this is a good everview of you are not understanding. hope that helps Ken http://cleveland.lug.net/~rocket/ The answer is simple if you grant that ironies are like submarines; dangerous only when submerged.
