note 100890 added to function.file-exists

Try this replacement if you are having issues with safe mode restrictions: function file_exists_2($dir, $file) { $ret = exec("ls ".$dir." | grep ".$file); return (!empty($ret)); } I was having an issue because Apache kept resetting permissions for my public_html directory, causing issues with safe mode. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 72.219.156.140 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.file-exists.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/100890 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100890/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100890/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100890/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100890/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100890/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100890/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100890 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/100890 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
