I create and upload files to a folder named "files". How would I create a form that let's me input a new folder name, and when I hit a Submit Button, the folder "files" is renamed to the new name I input into form? I am using PHP.

I think that the rename php function would do the job. Let's say you have the post of the folder name comes from the form as the value of $_POST['folder'] .

With the mentioned function you can create folder easy

rename ('files',''.$_POST['folder'].'' );

You would need to incorporate some of php's file system functions into your script:

Then what specifically is your question? What do you not understand about the file system functions?
