You might need to create the directory it is going into, e.g.

$toName = "test2/xxx1/xxx2";

if (!is_dir(dirname($toName))) {
    mkdir(dirname($toName), 0777, true);
}

rename("test1", $toName);

The third parameter to mkdir() is 'recursive', which means you can create nested directories with one call.
