Bug #12220 Updated: help

ID: 12220 Updated by: cynic Reported By: boo_d81@hotmail.com Old Status: Bogus Status: Open Old Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: windows 98 PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment: Hartmut Holzgraefe: you have to check for file existance with file_exists() before you try to probe for its filetype I think it'd be useful if the is_<type> functions in the FS category did that for the user, so moving to feature request. I don't know enough about the underlying C stuff, but I don't think is_<type> checking the existence of the file/dir/whatever would be more expensive, would it?
