[RESOLVED] Problem in renaming directories

[onh1986]

Hello
How can I rename directories?
I wrote this code:

<?php
rename ("old","new");
?>

And I set the folder permission to "777".
When I open the page, the error shows:
Warning: rename(old,new): Permission denied in /home/onh1/domains/onh1986.com/public_html/eenglish/a.php


Note: I use PHP version 4.4.
What's problem, please?
Thanks & Regards

When you rename a directory, you are not modifing the directory itsself, rather, you are modifying the directory listing of the parent directory. Therefroe, you need to have the appropriate permissions on the parent directory of the directory your want to rename.

Renaming is exaclty the same as moving a file or directory. This is actually what PHP does when you call rename.

I did't understand.
Can u explain me more on how to rename a directory, please?
I set permission to "read/write", but I couldn't rename it.

You need to set the permissions on the parent directory. Not the directory you are moving. You don't need to modify any code.

It's working.
Thanks very very much.
