Note Submitter: treshugart at gmail dot com ---- This might be a similar problem to what happened to: jmalinsky at gmail dot com 10-Dec-2005 08:41 Apparently rename() will fail on filenames that are too large and emit an E_WARNING. I was using rename() 'batch-move' a bunch of images. These files were lost in translation; in other words: deleted. One file, however, was moved but the filename was truncated. Weird. Why one or two files while the rest were deleted. This was being attempted on a Windows box. I hope this helps anyone. If anyone has an explanation please feel free to email me. But if you're one of those idiots who *thinks* they're better than everyone and you *think* you know everything, don't bother.
