Note: Prior to PHP 4.3.3, rename() could not rename files across partitions on *nix based systems.
Note: As of PHP 5.0.0 rename() can also be used with some URL wrappers. Refer to Appendix J for a listing of which wrappers support rename().
Note: The wrapper used in oldname MUST match the wrapper used in newname.
Note: The context parameter was added as of PHP 5.0.0.
See also copy(), unlink(), and move_uploaded_file().
