note 90256 added to function.file-exists

I wanted to check for the existance of a file with the same name, but disregarding case. Here is what I came up with: <?php /** * Alternative to file_exists() that will also return true if a file exists * with the same name in a different case. * eg. say there exists a file /path/product.class.php * file_exists('/path/Product.class.php') * => false * similar_file_exists('/path/Product.class.php') * => true */ function similar_file_exists($filename) { if (file_exists($filename)) { return true; } $dir = dirname($filename); $files = glob($dir . '/*'); $lcaseFilename = strtolower($filename); foreach($files as $file) { if (strtolower($file) == $lcaseFilename) { return true; } } return false; } ?> ---- Server IP: 117.55.229.1 Probable Submitter: 60.242.101.153 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.file-exists.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/90256 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90256/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90256/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90256/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90256/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90256/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90256/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90256 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/90256 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
