Are you sure? <?php var_dump(file_exists('temp.txt')); touch('temp.txt'); var_dump(file_exists('temp.txt')); unlink('temp.txt'); var_dump(file_exists('temp.txt')); ?> Outputs: bool(false) bool(true) bool(false) for me, on PHP 4.3.4RC1 (cgi) (yeah I know, I need to upgrade :P). "PHP don't cache information", should also be "PHP doesn't cache information", or "PHP does not cache information". Dave
