[dflow]

how can one check if image file exists?

 

for example:

i have ../images/image_1.jpg  pointing to an image

 

now if i want to check if the image image_1.jpg

 

really exists in the images folder

 

if not show white_blank.jpg

file_exists.

use the function file_exists()

<?php
$file = '../images/image_1.jpg';
if(file_exists($file))
{
echo "<img src='$file'>";
}else{
echo "<img src='no_image.jpg'>";
}
?>

[dflow]

use the function file_exists()

<?php
$file = '../images/image_1.jpg';
if(file_exists($file))
{
echo "<img src='$file'>";
}else{
echo "<img src='no_image.jpg'>";
}
?>

That means it can't find it so it's your path or the file isn't actually there. Try this:

$file = 'images/image_1.jpg';

i tried the absolute path and nada !!

Then the image does not exist, bad name or you still have the incorrect path. Simple as that.

 

We, sadly, do not know how your server is setup and cannot help you further, you will have to take steps to debug this on your own.

what should i look in the server configuration?

 

i simply checked if my logo image exists and got negative

Post the full path to the image here. Also post the full path to your script.

 

Alternatively you can try this:

 

$file = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/images/image_1.jpg';

 

And see if that works. That will give the correct absolute path to the image using the server variable.

ok this worked at the end:

<?php
$filename = 'images/citybanner22.jpg';

if (file_exists($filename)) {
echo "<img src=../$filename>";
} else {
echo "The file $filename does not exist";
}
?>
