note 76498 deleted from function.clearstatcache by vrana

Note Submitter: j dot gauth at gmail dot com ---- Note, contrary to the above information, stat cache entries are cleared when certain PHP functions are run. For instance, if you use unlink() to remove a file, the stat cache information is automatically purged for that particular file: <?php var_dump(file_exists('dummy')); // false, dummy doesn't exist touch('dummy'); // create dummy var_dump(file_exists('dummy')); // true, dummy exists unlink('dummy'); // remove dummy var_dump(file_exists('dummy')); // false, dummy no longer exists ?>
