[SOLVED] File Exists?

[phpcodec]

How can i check to see whether a file exists on another server such as photobucket

A simple method should be using fopen()

 

<?php
$check = @fopen('http://www.site.com/remotefile.jpg', 'r'); //the @ suppresses error messages if the file is not found
if($check){ echo 'File exists'; }
?>

Thanks GuiltyGear but

 

i get this message:

Warning: fopen() expects at least 2 parameters, 1 given in /mounted-storage/home63b/sub002/sc39060-WBVM/xxxxxx.net/xxxxxx/xxxxxx.php on line 15

Did you pass fopen() a second argument? Post your code.

Probably you saw the code before i edited, as i forgot to put the 'mode' parameter. The syntax should be:

 

fopen(string $file, string $mode)

 

so in code:

<?php
fopen('path/to/the/file', 'r'); //where 'r' specifies that the access should be read only
?>

thanks that works now
