[Resolved] Move File

Hello,

This is probably a stupid question, but does anyone know how to move a file on the same system as the php script is running?

The problem I run into is I have only found a way to do this by using the copy command and then deleting the old file (unlink) this however resets all the attributes on the file..creation time..modification time..accessed time.. Which I happen to need to keep!

Thanks guys,
Mitchel

I think you're looking to rename() the file.

Something like this:

PHP Code:

---

<?
  rename(
         "c:/web/file.txt", //old file
         "c:/web/dir/dir/file.txt" //new file
        );
?>

---

I can't say I know if it keeps the file attributes or not, but I'm sure you could try it out and find that out for yourself. Here's the PHP.net full coverage:

Cool, Thanks, I'm going to try that as soon as I have a minute, I'll get back and let you all know if it works.
