file_exists problem

[The Little Guy]

This may be more complicated than the following code, maybe not.

First off, here is the basic code:

if(file_exists('cat'))
     echo 'yes';
else
     echo 'no';

 

the above file (index.php) is in the exact same directory as "cat". dir layout:

root
  |
  +-cat
  |
  +-index.php

 

OK, with that being said, The file "index.php" is being run through another file "viewFile.php", using some .htaccess rules, if you go to http://test.hostbox.us/index.php you are actually are going to http://hostbox.us/subdomains/test/index.php where test is the root.

 

the above file will work if you go to http://hostbox.us/subdomains/test/index.php it will say yes

but if you go here: http://test.hostbox.us/index.php it will say no

 

What I need is for both urls to say yes

if(file_exists($readF)){
if(!$err && !$isO){
	include($readF);  // This includes the file that will be read in such as index.php
}else{
	readfile($readF);
}
}

You need to use the whole string for the file location.

 

i.e. /var/www/http/sitename/folder/file

[The Little Guy]

where would I use the whole string?

 

here: file_exists('cat')

 

OR

 

here: include($readF);

[DyslexicDog]

In both places.

 

<?php
    $workingdir = "/var/www/html/webspace";
   
     if file_exists($workingdir.'/file.inc'){
...
?>

You could even use the function realpath() which returns the absolute path for the relative path provided.
