It had some dependencies inside the code and I wanted to make sure I keep it consistent. Andi Looks perfect.. lstat() and filetype() both work fine on the broken symlink.. as does is_link(). I'd call it fixed. ;)

Great!

file_exists() still 'fails' on a broken symlink, but perhaps it should. That could get a little on the philosophical side.

Yes this is indeed a philosophical question and according to the PHP manual it is unclear. I don't really care either way. It's probably best the way it is now.

Thanks alot for the quick fix!

You're welcome. Andi
