Moves a folder. This function uses FTP if enabled, otherwise, it will use the built in PHP functions. This function returns true on success, false otherwise.

mixed move ( $src, $dest, $path )

In this example a folder called ‘myfolder/oldsubfolder’ in the Joomla! root folder is moved (together with its contents) to ‘myfolder/newsubfolder’.

jimport( 'joomla.filesystem.folder' );

global $mainframe;

if (JFolder::move( 'oldsubfolder', 'newsubfolder', $mainframe->getCfg( 'absolute_path' ) . '/myfolder/' )) {
    echo "Folder moved!";
} else {
    echo "Could not move folder!";
}

might produce:

Folder moved!
