Re: [PHP3] testing for image file

Here is my input.. Taken from the PHP Manual... file_exists file_exists -- Check whether a file exists Description int file_exists(string filename); Returns true if the file specified by filename exists; false otherwise. file_exists() will not work on remote files; the file to be examined must be accessible via the server's filesystem.
