From: anon at anon dot anon Operating system: PHP version: 5.4.8 Package: Filesystem function related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:rename rename
Description:
------------
The rename function overwrites. This is totally unexpected and unintuitive
behavior which could cause data loss, and it is not even documented.
Combined with the fact that the rename function can "rename" across drives,
it's obviously a move, not a rename. Then it should be called move, so you
can tell what it does.
Test script:
---------------
<?php
file_put_contents('1.txt', 'one');
file_put_contents('2.txt', 'two');
rename('2.txt', '1.txt');
echo '1.txt:' . file_get_contents('1.txt');
echo '2.txt:' . file_get_contents('2.txt');
Expected result:
----------------
1.txt:one
2.txt:two
plus an error that the name exists
Actual result:
--------------
1.txt:two
2.txt:
plus an error that 2.txt does not exist
