Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions.  Due to the volume
of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not
a bug.  The support channels will be able to provide an explanation
for you.

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

If you're on windows you shouldn't use

rename("/test2/conn.php", "/test2/conn2.php");

but probably

rename("c:\\wamp\\www\\Rekha\\conn.php", "c:\\wamp\\www\\Rekha\\conn2.php");

rename("/test2/conn.php", "/test2/conn2.php");
works on windows, why do you think that it should be used?

to answer the original question: your script doesn't work, because you are using 
absolute paths (starting with /), but as you mentioned, your directoris are under 
"C:\wamp\www\Rekha".
the suggested solution from Florian should work, but 
rename("./test2/conn.php", "./test2/conn2.php");
see the dots which means those paths are relative paths.
