If you looked at the usercomments for file_exists you would see it saying to
look at the fopen page for a example....
In the usercomments for fopen there is a post saying this:
jamie.watt at murchison.com.au

To check if a file exists using http or ftp use the following:
<pre>
$fp = @fopen("http://www.someurl.com/testfile.php3","r");
if ($fp)
{ print"The file exists!"; }
else
{ print"The file does not exist"; }
</pre>
Note: The "@" in front of fopen suppresses the error output of the function.
I hope this clears up some confusion.
There is your answer :)
