Re: Code Refusing to Die

I thought about file_exists... but url is by definition a remote file and file_exists does not work on remote files. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.file-exists.php What I don't understand is why the die statement never executes. If you try to fopen a file that doesn't exist shouldn't fopen return false?
