Req #74191 [NEW]: file_exists needs option to use include path

From: dpfender44 at gmail dot com Operating system: PHP version: 7.1.2 Package: *General Issues Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:file_exists needs option to use include path Description: ------------ It would be nice to have an option for file_exists() that would do a search using the include path. This would allow a validity check for a file to be included with "include_once" or "require_once". These functions use the include path to find a file. Currently, I have programmed my own function called my_file_exists() to be used instead of file_exists() so the test is done on all directories in the include path. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=74191&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74191&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74191&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74191&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74191&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74191&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74191&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74191&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74191&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74191&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74191&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74191&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74191&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74191&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74191&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74191&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74191&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74191&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74191&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74191&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74191&r=mysqlcfg
