note 91994 added to function.rename

In Windows, on FAT32, rename will fail with "bad file descriptor" if the underlying short (8.3) file name of the file to rename is the same as the new file name. For example, attempting to rename "Oxygène.m3u" to "Oxygene.m3u" will fail if the 8.3 name of "Oxygène.m3u" is "OXYGENE.M3U" (which is very likely), as Windows will take both names as belonging to the same file. To solve this you must first rename the file to an intermediate name and then rename it to the intended name. To see the short (8.3) file names in a directory you can type DIR /X on a cmd box. ---- Server IP: 201.216.232.3 Probable Submitter: 190.49.218.176 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.rename.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/91994 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91994/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91994/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91994/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91994/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91994/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91994/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91994 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/91994 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
