Problem with php's rename function


Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

So, i'm having a problem with the php rename function. Basically my script 'delete_user.php' attempts to copy the users xml file(i stored all users information, in xml files as a backup of my database). They're all located in a folder named "xml", which is located in the root directory of my website, as is 'delete_user.php'. What i want to do is, that the file name is changed when the person's user account is deleted. Here's the code i've tried to do it with, i get an 'invalid directory / file error' when i try to run the script.

Code: <?php $path = "/xml/";
// you cannot see it here, but $login contains a username. (The username is the name of the file)
Did you know?Explore Trending and Topic pages for more stories like this.
// eg. an user named "sharal" would have an associated xml file named "sharal.xml"
// this is not exactly what i want it to do, but it simply renames the file with it's original name
// and adds "old" behind it
$file = $login;
$old = "old";
$new_path = $login . $old;

rename($path.$file.".xml", $path.$new_path.".xml"); ?>
