I found a slight issue when trying to check if a variable name as a directory then variable name as a file existed. I was using file_exists('$section/$id.inc.php'); which it didn't seem to like, kept returning false even though i knew that the file did exist. A way around this seems to be to try say $somevar = "$section/$id.inc.php"; then do if(file_exists('$somevar')) { echo "yes" } else { echo "no"; }; This seem'd to work. hope this helps -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.file-exists.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+22094 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+22094 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+22094
