Description:
------------
When using rename() from one drive to another drive PHP5.3 & Snap 5.3.1 2009-07-02 fails with error: "No error" and doesn't move the file...

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

$old_file = "C:\\Temp\\file.txt";
$new_file = "D:\\Temp\\newfile.txt";

$handle = rename($old_dir.$old_file, $new_dir.$new_file);
if ($handle)
	print "Wuhoo!!";
else
	print "Do'h!";

// $handle = rename($new_dir.$new_file, $old_dir.$old_file); // restore for reruns
?>

Expected result:
----------------
Wuhoo!!

Actual result:
--------------
Warning: rename(C:\Temp\file.txt,D:\Temp\newfile.txt) [function.rename]: No error in D:\home\main\test\rename\index.php on line 6
Do'h!

$handle = rename($old_file, $new_file);

$old_dir & $new_dir was meant for is_dir() checking before moving files,... but as this test didn't needed that, i forgot to remove it from the rename(),.. merged it into $old_file & $new_file.

Verified, missing a flag to allow that.

I don't know if i am right but i think i also notice this bug. I do not even use 
absolute paths.

I could use this function wrong or it is the bug, it sais: No error on line 19

 $pathtothisfolder = explode("/", str_replace(array('//', 
'\\'),'/',dirname(__FILE__)));

    $pathtoUpperParent = "";
    for( $i = 0; $i < count($pathtothisfolder) - 2; $i++ ) {
    	$pathtoUpperParent .= $pathtothisfolder[$i]."/";
    }
    $rootname = trim($pathtoUpperParent, versieDirPath());
    
    $parents = count(explode("/", $rootname)) + 2;
    $parentpath = "";
    while ($parents > 0 ) {
    	$parentpath .= "../";
    	$parents --;
    }
    
    // voer de rename operatie uit
    rename($parentpath.$_GET['versie']."/", $parentpath."sdfsdf/" );

The paths i use are without drives, am I also affected by this bug?

Please use a simple:

rename($path1, $path2); as reproduce script, nothing else. That's all this bug is 
about :)

hello, when using the rename so 
-->rename(dirname(__FILE__)."/modulos/oldfolder",dirname(__FILE__)."/modulos/newfolder"); works correctly , 

when I add a variable  triggers an alert stating that the volume syntax is incorrect :
rename(dirname(__FILE__)."/modulos/oldfolder",dirname(__FILE__)."/modulos/".$name);
how do I fix this?

Please print out the content of:

dirname(__FILE__)."/modulos/".$name

and paste it here. Whether you use variables or not is not relevant but what is 
in the variables.
