(PHP 4, PHP 5)
file_exists — Checks whether a file or directory exists
Checks whether a file or directory exists.
Path to the file or directory.
On windows, use //computername/share/filename or \\computername\share\filename to check files on network shares.
Returns TRUE if the file or directory specified by filename exists; FALSE otherwise.
Note: This function will return FALSE for symlinks pointing to non-existing files.
This function returns FALSE for files inaccessible due to safe mode restrictions. However these files still can be included if they are located in safe_mode_include_dir.
Note: The check is done using the real UID/GID instead of the effective one.
Example #1 Testing whether a file exists
<?php
$filename = '/path/to/foo.txt';
if (file_exists($filename)) {
echo "The file $filename exists";
} else {
echo "The file $filename does not exist";
}
?>
