Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php The 'file' referred to is actually the current working directory.

Opening a blank file name in most console languages (Turbo C/Turbo Pascal), opens a handle to the console for input/output. If you were planning on using PHP for console development, wouldn't you want an easy way to open the stdio types? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-25 01:44:07] jlugton@iprimus.com.au The following will echo "I FOUND NOTHING!" on Windows XP running PHP (version 4.1.0), but on linux PHP (Version 4.0.4) returns FALSE which is correct. <?php if (file_exists("")) echo "I FOUND NOTHING!" ; ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=15218&edit=1
