note 77662 added to function.file-exists

I was having problems with the file_exists when using urls, so I made this function: <?php function file_exists_2($filePath) { return ($ch = curl_init($filePath)) ? @curl_close($ch) || true : false; } ?> Cheers! ---- Server IP: 130.206.1.5 Probable Submitter: 80.38.116.20 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.file-exists.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/77662 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77662/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77662/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77662/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77662/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77662/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77662/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77662 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/77662 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
