----
if you want to check, if a file still exists, created and deleted by another process and not of your
own script, think of the caching which is used for file_exists()
if you have something like this:
echo "wait";
while(file_exists("googlenews/google.txt"))
{
echo ".";
sleep(mt_rand(3,7));
clearstatcache();
}
and forget the clearstatcache() call, it will loop forever.

ps: read manuals carefully ;)
