[SOLVED] file_exists() function

[pauleth]

Do you need to provide an absolute path for this function to work, or can you include a path relative to where the script resides?

 

For example, if I have the php script in a directory called mySite, and I have a directory in mySite called images, can I reference a file in the images directory as:

 

$image = "images/myFile.jpg";

if (!file_exists($image)) {

    $error = "File does not exist!";

}

 

Thanks in advance for your input.

Did you try? You can use both absolute and relative paths.

No, I haven't tried yet.  I'm actually at work right now, so it's hard for me to work on this stuff - so I thought I'd just get as much info as possible before I worked on it later.  Thanks for the response.

Sweet, I got it to work with the relative path.  Thanks!
