note 82269 added to function.file-exists

I'm not sure if this is a bug or some kind of caching but with PHP 5.1.6 on Linux file_exists returns false positives. The file in question was (before I deleted it) on a samba mounted file system, it seems to work alright with a local file system. Using the following function seems to be a workaround: <? function is_file_there($filename) { return realpath($filename) !== false; } ?> ---- Server IP: 92.48.74.199 Probable Submitter: 194.70.148.66 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.file-exists.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/82269 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82269/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82269/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82269/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82269/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82269/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82269/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82269 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/82269 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
