If you are moving a file just uploaded, use http://php.net/manual/en/function.move-uploaded-file.php instead of rename(). It gives you some added security.

You can use

  • copy — Copies file

Example from Manual:

$file = 'example.txt';
$newfile = 'example.txt.bak';

if (!copy($file, $newfile)) {
    echo "failed to copy $file...\n";
}

Use rename().

rename ("/var/www/files/file.txt", "/var/www/sites/file.txt");
