note 56937 added to function.file-exists

I recently had an issue with PLESK and copying file to other directories with the move_uploaded file function. This would work on every linux server except plesk servers. I could figure it out and have yet to find out. I had to create a work a round and decided to use the exec() function. As noted above the file_exist() function must need to wait for some time and I found the looking function a waste of resouces and didn't work for me anyway. So this is what I came up with. function cp($source,$destination){ $cmd="cp -u ".$source ." ".$destination; //create the command string to copy with the update option exec($cmd); //exec command $cmd_test="ls -la ".$destination; //list file exec($cmd_test,$out); //If the file is present it $out[0] key will contain the file info. //if it is not present it will be null if (isset($out[0])){ return true; }else{ return false; } } ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.file-exists.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+56937 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56937&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56937&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56937&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56937&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56937&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56937&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56937&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+56937&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
