[resolved] Check if a file exists...

[ibanez270dx]

Hi,
How do I check if a file exists on my server? I am currently using an if($filename2) where the $filename2 is thename.xls (the files are located in the same directory). This doesn't seem to work... it just automatically goes to the statement afterward even if the file doesn't exist. Someone please help!

Thanks,
- Jeff

if(file_exists($filename2))

Php manual example:

[code]<?php
$filename = '/path/to/foo.txt';

if (file_exists($filename)) {
  echo "The file $filename exists";
} else {
  echo "The file $filename does not exist";
}
?> [/code]
