The rename function does this

Image rename

rename('image2.jpg', 'newfolder/image2.jpg');
rename('image4.jpg', 'newfolder/image4.jpg');
rename('image5.jpg', 'newfolder/image5.jpg');

If you want to keep the existing file on the same place you should use copy

Image copy

copy('image2.jpg', 'newfolder/image2.jpg');
copy('image4.jpg', 'newfolder/image4.jpg');
copy('image5.jpg', 'newfolder/image5.jpg');

Use Loop for multiple files as below:

//Create an array with image files which should be copy or move in new folder
$files = ['image2.jpg','image4.jpg','image5.jpg'];
foreach($files as $resFile){
    rename($resFile, 'newfolder/'.$resFile);
    copy($resFile, 'newfolder/'.$resFile);
}
