You might find is_file() to be a 'more reliable' indicator because
file_exists() works for both directories and files. Thus if for some reason
$mg1_name was empty then your statement above would effectively be:
file_exists("mjpalpics")
which, assuming that your directory always exists, would return true, which
may not be what you want.
I was bitten by this 'feature' of file_exists() just today, had me stumped
for a good hour or so.
