Hi,
after looking around for a while it appears as that there is no single
command to move a file from A to B. I know that I can first copy the file
and then delete the source. In order to do so I'd need to check if the copy
was successful and then check if the delete was successful. Is that so or
am I just too dense to read the docs right?
Answering my own question but assuming that this may be interesting for
some, I am not to dense. OK, that wasn't too interesting, I admit. What is
interesting is that there is indeed no move function per sé, but I saw at
http://webxadmin.free.fr/article/php-move-file-211.php that you can abuse
the rename function to move a file...and potentially rename it at the same
time.
Rarely found a case where a workaround is better than the desired solution.
