Re: file_exists() question

because you can't directly use the $annrow[id] within single quotes, you should use double quotes to do so. file_exists("cherpdocs/$annrow[id].doc") or file_exists('cherpdocs/'.$annrow[id].'.doc') or file_exists("cherpdocs/".$annrow[id].".doc") Note: i heared it's prefered to always use the "." when including variables within strings. Regards, Khalid Al-Kary http://creaturesx.ma.cx/kxparse/

Can anyone tell me why this code does not return true when the file in the directory cherpdocs/ with the file (which I see as being there) does exist? if(file_exists('cherpdocs/$annrow[id].doc')){

        echo "<br /><a href=\"cherpdocs/$annrow[id].doc\">Funding details paper</a>";

} This is a path relative to the file calling it, should it be otherwise? Thanks Charles -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
