error using rename function in PHP.

I keep getting this error, although the file still gets moved into the correct directory. Anybody know why i'm getting this error?

Warning: rename(../Images/uploaded/1162504_56863010.jpg,../Images/uploaded/Portraits/1162504_56863010.jpg) [function.rename]: No error in D:\Data\Websites\wamp\www\StephsSite\PHP\addImage.php  on line 21
+3  A: 

According to the User Contributed Notes to rename(), there are issues on Windows systems when the target file already exists.

  • try unlink() ing the target file first if it exists
  • Alternatively, try copy()
