Hi all, file_exists and is_readable perfom there test with real UID/GID. Is there any functions that tests file existance with effective UID/GID ? Note: stat is not an option because it raises an E_WARNING if the file is not readable.

    That's what you have things like <? ini_set("display_errors", "off"); ?>

what about doing it like this? <?php $filename = __FILE__; $stat_info = @stat($filename); if ( $stat_info ) { // do something... } The '@' will suppress the E_WARNING notice if stat fails the condition will fail. -- Jim Lucas "Some men are born to greatness, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them."
