PHP Bug Type: Filesystem function related
Bug description: rename() function is not portable to Windows
Description:
------------
The behavior of rename() is inconsistent between Linux and Windows.
On Linux, the rename() function is atomic - you can rename() one file over
an existing file, and the replacement is atomic.
On Windows, you cannot rename over an existing file.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
file_put_contents("file1.txt", "this is file 1");
file_put_contents("file2.txt", "this is file 2");
rename("file1.txt", "file2.txt");
echo "reading file 2: ";
readfile("file2.txt");
?>
Expected result:
----------------
reading file 2: this is file 1
Actual result:
--------------
On Linux: (CORRECT)
reading file 2: this is file 1
On Windows: (INCORRECT)
Warning: rename(file1.txt,file2.txt) [function.rename]: File exists in
C:\Web3\test\rename\test.php on line 6
reading file 2: this is file 2
