New Comment:
Well, if this rename is not possible atomically (how bad this ever is),
i think PHP should handle the copy/unlink logic in background if i use
"rename()".
I simply don't like to think about possible platform dependencies (i
don't know anything about) and hack around in a bad way that additional
produce an error with "E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE" i cannot circumvent.

I actually agree with that... however, it's not possible to do this
atomically on windows if the file you're moving to exists. The only
option is to unlink() the target and then do the rename() but that
leaves a race condition. I don't think that is solvable on Windows.

Do you know how this works on *nix systems?
Well i will tell you - it will *move* the "new file" over the "old
file" in an atomic rename. This is what PHP needs to handle on Windows,
too. I don't need any extras on *nix to rename. And PHP internal command
should work platform independent.
This bug should be fixed to make sure the code runs on windows in the
*same way* as it does on *nix systems.
What is so difficult to understand about this? Writing write code once,
*run everywhere* is not possible with this bug.

Please open a dictionary and translate the error message:
PHP Warning: rename(C:\temp\tmp_file.txt.new,C:\temp\tmp_file.txt):
****File exists**** in C:\Temp\rename-test.php on line 2
It says FILE EXISTS, don't you see it?
Please do NOT reopen the report again.
Thank you.

As already said, this won't help anything.
DON'T WORK:
<?php
rename('C:\temp\tmp_file.txt.new', 'C:\temp\tmp_file.txt');
?>
Error:

File exists in C:\Temp\rename-test.php on line 2
DON'T WORK:
<?php
rename('C:\\temp\\tmp_file.txt.new', 'C:\\temp\\tmp_file.txt');
?>

So you have a Windows Box next to you? Before answering, test yourself
if you don't trust me, but don't close this case until this bug has been
fixed! THX.
