Renaming Directories

[Daniel Schierbeck <daniel.schierbeck@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've made a small PHP script that renames the files and folders in my 
music library, to make them more linux-friendly. I'm running PHP 5.0.3 
on version 2.6.9 kernel.

What's happening is that all files and folders are renamed, except for 
folders whose names consist of one word only (such as Toto), which is 
still with a capital T. Here is the script and the result I'm getting:

<?php

error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT);
header('Content-Type: text/plain');

function clean_filename ($str) {
  $str = strtolower($str);
  $str = str_replace(' - ', '-', $str);
  $str = str_replace(' ', '_', $str);
  $str = str_replace('\'', '', $str);

  return $str;
}

function parse_dir ($dir_name) {
  $dir = opendir($dir_name);

  while (false !== ($file = readdir($dir))) {
    if ($file != '.' && $file != '..') {
      $path_old = $dir_name  . $file;
      $path_new = $dir_name . clean_filename($file);

      echo "renaming $path_old to $path_new... ";

      echo rename($path_old, $path_new) ? "done\n" : "failed\n";

      if (is_dir($file)) parse_dir($path_old);
    }
  }

  closedir($dir);
}

parse_dir('/shared/music/');

?>

As you can see, the rename() returns TRUE, but it doesn't rename the folder.

I hope you guys can help me out, because otherwise I'll have to do it 
manually (which I'm too lazy to even consider.)
