#6932 [Com]: Filesize / File_exists and include_path

ID: 6932 Comment by: rhoelvis-bell at yahoo dot com Reported By: richard dot heyes at heyes-computing dot net Status: Open Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: Any PHP Version: 4.0.2 New Comment: I just think would be great to check before we get any kind of warning or whatever. And I also think would be of great importance to offer a clean code and service. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-03-10 02:34:09] admin at microsoft dot com FIX THIS ASAP PLZ !!! IS IMPORTANT !!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-03-08 16:41:34] ericjhollander at yahoo dot com This is so obvious. It should be there. We should be able to do an easy test BEFORE calling include(). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-02-24 22:38:22] arnold at bean-it dot nl I third that! And I would also like to see this argument for the function 'is_readable' and 'is_writable'. Currently there is no clean way to check if a file can be included. Simply including a file which can't be opened causes a warning to be triggered. Suppressing include() with an @ is not advisable, since parse errors won't be displayed, but will cause the script to die, causing a blank screen. (Happy debugging, hope you're using ZendStudio). The best solution I've come up with is: if (($fp = @fopen($filename, 'r', 1)) and fclose($fp)) include_once($filename); Anybody reading this bug PLEASE VOTE that this is important to you, because it doesn't look like anybody is willing to add this (simple) feature. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-06-30 19:15:44] sr at brightlight dot ch I second this request. Open since 5 years, since PHP5's autoload even more important and not even yet assigned... :-/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-04 09:13:56] mfischer@php.net Any objection not to add this? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
