before. but you only need to issue that if you've done one of the
file operations listed in the 'Affected' list on
http://php.net/clearstatcache
Another reason why file_exists() could fail is due to the fact that
the user php is running as my not have access to the path of the
file. PHP will issue a warning about that but if you may have your
errors suppressed.
