note 99772 added to function.file-exists

There is a subtle difference in behaviour of file_exists(), depending on the OS. Suppose you test a path ending with a slash. If the corresponding filesystem object exists, but is not a directory but a file, file_exists() will return true on Windows and false on Linux. Ie, file_exists( $path_from_root . '/somedir/file/' ) returns true on Windows if that file exists, and false on Linux. Tested with PHP 5.3.3 on Ubuntu and PHP 5.2.9 on Windows. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 91.57.98.17 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.file-exists.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/99772 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99772/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99772/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99772/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99772/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99772/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99772/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99772 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/99772 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
