file_exists
(PHP 4, PHP 5)
file_exists — Checks whether a file or directory exists
Description
Checks whether a file or directory exists.
Parameters
- filename
-
Path to the file or directory.
On windows, use //computername/share/filename or \\computername\share\filename to check files on network shares.
Return Values
Returns TRUE if the file or directory specified by filename exists; FALSE otherwise.
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.
