Re: file_exists() returns incorrect result

Do a simple test. Locate a file you know exists and check for it. if (file_exists($file)) { print 'YES!'; } else { print 'NO.'; } And be sure to define $file as an existing file and be sure it exists within the assigned directory. You are doing : /images/... Within your html page that *would* be correct as : example.com/images/... But this is not the case here, you are checking for existance of file on webserver so depending in setup it may check : /images/... Rather then something like : /home/username/sup/www/images/... And it will not exist there. Be sure to check the path, perhaps changing /images/ to images/ will work.
