So you have a Windows Box next to you? Before answering, test yourself
if you don't trust me, but don't close this case until this bug has been
fixed! THX.

This doesn't have anything to do with double quotes. With single quotes
this isn't working, too.
<?php
rename('C:\temp\tmp_file.txt.new', 'C:\temp\tmp_file.txt');
?>

What are you talking about? Writing write code once, run everywhere?
This is currently not possible and therefor this is for sure a bug.
Rename is not working the same way on all OS'es and this is why i filed
this bug. I don't like to workaround in a shit way like described in
http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.rename.php#56576. This one produces
a PHP error that is logged in my CMS.
So let's fix this to make PHP work in the same way on all OS without
dirty hacks. You may fix this in the way of #56576 PHP *internally*, but
don't make me to hack around outside and create crappy code around.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php
\\t has a special meaning in strings with double quotes.
