My working Windows directory is c:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs, I have some scripts
/app/mr/main.php where I use function file_exists().
When I need to check existens of some file in /app/mr/ or some subdirectory of /app/mr/ then
file_exists() work well, but if I need to check existens in some other directory, for example in my
case, to check existence of /app/art/CheckedFile.jpg then this code dosn't work
$filename = "/app/art/CheckedFile.jpg";
if (file_exists($filename))
{echo $filename." exists";}
else
{echo $filename." not exists";}
but this work well
$winDir = "c:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs";
$filename = "/app/art/CheckedFile.jpg";
if (file_exists($winDir.$filename))
{echo $filename." exists";}
else
{echo $filename." not exists";}
if you specify relative path for checked file then file_exists() works well only if checked file is
at same directory or subdirectory of calling script directory, otherwise you should specify absolute
path for checked file.
