rename function not working in loop

Hi I cannot figure out why the rename function is not working as I think it should.

Every aspect of the script seems to be working except for the rename function while inside the loop.

<?php



// open the current directory
$dhandle = opendir('.');


$rename = rename('test', 'wtfthisworks'); // changing directory test to wtfthisworks works!!


if ($dhandle) {
// loop through all of the files
while (false !== ($fname = readdir($dhandle))) {
// if the file is not this file, and does not start with a '.' or '..', and is a directory

if (($fname != '.') && ($fname != '..') && ($fname != basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) && (is_dir($fname))) {


$fname = trim($fname);

$query = "'";


$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());

$row = mysql_fetch_row($result); // query is working



if ($row[0]) {



$rename = rename('{$fname}', '{$row[0]}'); // this not working


if($rename)
{
echo "success renaming {$fname} to {$row[0]} ! <br />";
}
else
{
echo "Renaming {$fname} failed to {$row[0]} <br />"; // the loop and variable print as expected therefore query and loop works!
}


}


}
}
// close the directory
closedir($dhandle);
}


mysql_close($pfw_link);

?>

 

Hi, try this:

$rename = rename("{$fname}", "{$row[0]}");

PHP:

Is it ok now?

 

yes!!

Can you explain to me the difference. Thanks

I am still learning the basic clearly.

 

Please check strings and variables parsing.
