note 52487 added to function.file-exists

file_exists would only seem to work on files loacal to your server. If you want to find files on the web this works. if( fd = fopen('http://...')) echo "file found"; else echo "file not found"; this is useful for getting those web based comics that are updated not so regualy. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.file-exists.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+52487 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52487&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52487&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52487&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52487&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52487&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+52487&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
