PHP 重命名（） function 无法正常工作。 替代访问被拒绝（代码：5）

Question

I am facing a strange situation with php rename() function. I download a file using API and then moved that file to destination folder.

$download_path = C:\Users\JOHN\AppData\Local\Temp/downloaded_folder/downloaded_file.png $moving_path = C:\xampp\htdocs\project-1/images/downloaded_file.png

Every time downloading is working perfectly and file downloaded

The rename() function is working alternatively. ie on first time it works second time fails. 3rd time ITS works 4th time fails etc.

ie first time file moved. and second time i am getting warning

Warning: rename(C:\Users\JOHN\AppData\Local\Temp/downloaded_folder/downloaded_file.png,C:\xampp\htdocs\project-1/images/downloaded_file.png): Access is denied (code: 5) Warning: copy(C:\xampp\htdocs\project-1/images/downloaded_file.png): Failed to open stream: Permission denied

Please see my code below.

if (file_exists($moving_path)) {
   @unlink($moving_path);
}

if (file_exists($download_path) && !file_exists($moving_path)) {
    
    if (!rename($download_path, $moving_path)) {
            if (copy ($download_path, $moving_path)) {
                echo 'no rename but copied';
            } else {
                echo 'not moved';
            }
        } else {
             echo 'moved';
        }
    @rmdir(dirname($download_path))
}

Here what happen is first time it's moved and downloaded_file.png coming inside project-1/images folder & echo moved and second time there is no file coming and echo not moved .

Third time downloaded_file.png coming inside project-1/images folder & echo moved and 4th time there is no file coming and echo not moved .

How to solve this issue. Please help. I seen a similar question but that answer also not working for me

Answer 1

It seems that you do not have the correct folder permissions for:

C:\xampp\htdocs\project-1/images/

As you have this directory showing up in your error for the rename and the copy functions. Set this directory's permissions to 750, for your basic needs.

Since you're using windows:

Right Click>Properties>Security Tab Change the permissions for your user the script is running under to "Read & execute" and "Write".
