note 21371 added to control-structures.elseif

Sometimes you want to see if some files exsists so say: <?php error_reporting (E_ALL); $counter_file = "$DOCUMENT_ROOT/somefile.txt"; if(!($fp = @fopen($counter_file, "r"))) die ("<span class=\"error\"><b>Warning</b>: <b>$counter_file</b> in wrong directory or non-existent file. <a href=\"$DOCUMENT_ROOT\php-bin/\">Configure Server</a></span>"); $counter = (int) @fread($fp, 5); fclose($fp); // change from null to 1 $counter+="NULL"; $fp = fopen($counter_file, "w+"); fwrite($fp, $counter); fclose($counter_file); ?> with the if (!$fp) { the ! will see if it the file does exsist not $counter_file.
