EchoFool Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Hey i have a file_exists function that checks full urls to file locations but it does not work... my function is as below: <?php function imagecheck($Path){ If(file_exists($Path)){ return ($Path); }Else{ return ('http://www.mydomain.com/images/default.png'); } } ?> The url to the image is correct as i put the full url in my browser and it found the image but file_exists does not :S In this situation my variable is $Path = http://www.subdomain.mydomain.com/images/items/name.png; can any one figure out why it won't work yet the file does exist as currently it returns the "default" image :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitman6003 Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 The manual states that the stat functions are not supported for http/https locations. This means that file_exists will not function. http://www.php.net/file_exists (see the "Notes" section) http://www.php.net/wrappers.http (see the "Wrapper Summary" section) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
