Why does this work???

[seany123]

<?php
$path = "www.DOMAINHERE.com/images/showlogos/".$showNAME."_logo.jpg";
if (file_exists($path)){
    echo "YES";
?>
<a href="index.php"><img src="/images/showlogos/<?=$showNAME?>_logo.jpg" width="190" height="62" /></a><br /><br />
<?php
}
else {
    echo "NO!";
    echo $path;
}
?>

 

the result is echoing out NO! which means the file doesnt exist... however when i c+p the echo'd $path into my address bar, it shows the image..

 

Thanks

file_exists takes a directory path, not a URL.
