For some reason this PHP code below will not work, I can not figure it out. It is very strange, file_exists does not seem to see that the image does exist, I have checked to make sure a good file path is being inserted into the file_exists function and it is still acting up If I change file_exists to !file_exists it will return an ima...
$filename = "Sara & I.mp3"; if (file_exists($filename)) { ... } If the filename has a "&" PHP does not return true for file_exists How can I escape "&" in the $filename for the file_exists to work? Already tried urlecode(), urlrawencode(), htmlentities(), and escaping the '&' with a backslash (\&)... no go ps. this is on a linux sy...
When displaying images on our website, we check if the file exists with a call to file_exists(). We fall back to a dummy image if the file was missing. However, profiling has shown that this is the slowest part of generating our pages with file_exists() taking up to 1/2 ms per file. We are only testing 40 or so files, but this still pus...
I have a case where file_exists() is always returning false. My latest attempt was to just test to see if it would return true for $_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"] and then return the value of the path if it couldn't find the file which it does. The path while not necessarily relevant to solving the problem is: /Users/joe/Workspace/720/ap...
Hi, i own a site with a high load cpu httpd request per minute. I've noticed i use "file_exists" on each httpd request. Is that function to much heavy? ...
I want to include certain files in my page. I'm not always sure if they exists, so I have to check if they do. (Otherwise the page crashes, as you probably know) <%@ Page Language="C#" %> <html> <body> <% bool exists; exists = System.IO.File.Exists("/extra/file/test.txt"); %> Test include:<br> <!--#include file="/extra/file/test....
I don't want to specify the ".php" file extension in the link. But when I do that I can't successfully check to see if the file specified in the link exists or not. This is because PHP's built in "file_exists" function takes the .php extension in consideration. And even this doesn't work: file_exists($file.".php"); Anyway, is there som...
Assuming that requestScope.importMe is expecting a path to a jsp file <c:choose> <c:when test="${!empty requestScope.importMe && fileExists(requestScope.importMe) }"> <c:import url="${requestScope.importMe}" /> ... How can I check if the file exists before trying to include it so that an error is not thrown? I'd like to ...
Hi. I'm trying to check if a process is already running by using a temporal file demo.lock: demo.php: <?php $active=file_exists('demo.lock'); if ($active) { echo 'process already running'; } else { file_put_contents ('demo.lock', 'demo'); sleep(10); //do some job unlink ('demo.lo...
I have used the DIR() command in Microsoft Access 2003 to loop through the files in folder A. This works fine, but I need to check if each file also exists in another location (folder B), and only process the file if it doesn't exist in folder B. The problem is that checking for the file existing in folder B also uses the DIR() function...
Hello all, I'm currently tasked with reading some data that stored in a flat file into my database and run reports against it. The one problem I'm running into is checking to see if a file actually exists. Is there a simple function to check if the file exists? Thanks! ...
I have a php script that checks to see if a particular file exists. This name of the file is defined by the 'compartment' variable. When the script is copied and pasted again into a separate block, changing only the compartment variable it runs into a problem... Say for example 1.jpeg exists but 2.jpeg doesn't. The first block displays ...
Please note that I want the compartment number to change. <?php $compartment = "1"; /* HERE I NEED SOME SCRIPT TO FIND THE EXTENSION OF THE FILE NAME $compartment AND TO SAVE THAT AS A VARIABLE NAMED 'EXTENSION'.*/ if (file_exists($compartment.$extension)) { echo "$compartment.$extension exists! } else { ...
Hey All I need to check if a file exists but I don't know the extension. IE I would like to do: if(file_exists('./uploads/filename')): // do something endif; Of course that wont work as it has no extension. the extension will be either jpg, jpeg, png, gif Any ideas of a way of doing this without doing a loop ? Thanks in advance...

Hi all. I was checking the documentation for the file_exists() PHP function. The documentation at some point reads: The check is done using the real UID/GID instead of the effective one. What does that mean? I have no idea. Can somebody please explain that to me? Thanks, Daniele ...
I'm running Matlab 7.8.0 under Windows. I am calling an external utility using dos() which creates a file in the current directory.
