Rename function to move a file between folders does not work properly

Question

header ("Content-type: octet/stream");
header ("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=".$file.";");
header("Content-Length: ".filesize($file));
readfile($file);`

Here is my code to download an audio file. It was successful and the file is saved to system downloads folder. Now I want to have an application specific download folder and save all downloaded music files to that folder only so that I can use directory listing to show all those downloads.

I tried coding like:

rename('C:\Users\user2\Downloads/'.$file,
       'C:\Users\user2\Music\Playlists/'.$file);

But it's not working all the time. Any Help is Appreciated.

如图所示，修改您的代码，因为您在Windows计算机上工作，请更改斜杠

rename("C:\Users\user2\Downloads\$file", "C:\Users\user2\Music\Playlists\$file");
