What are some troubleshooting steps to take if renaming folders in PHP is not working as expected?

If renaming folders in PHP is not working as expected, one possible solution is to check the file permissions of the folders you are trying to rename. Make sure that the PHP script has the necessary permissions to rename the folders. Additionally, check for any errors or exceptions that may be thrown during the renaming process. 

// Check file permissions
if (is_writeable('path/to/folder')) {
    // Rename folder
    if (rename('path/to/folder', 'path/to/new_folder')) {
        echo 'Folder renamed successfully';
    } else {
        echo 'Error renaming folder';
    }
} else {
    echo 'Unable to write to folder';
}
