I don't know file_exist issue

[purencool]

Hi phpfreaks,

 

I don't know

 

I can't seem to get the $this->updateFilename to work the first piece of code works beautifully  'version1.tar.gz' came from the copy and pasting of the echo trim($this->updateFile);

the code below will not work and I can't work out why any suggestions?$this->updateFile;comes from a screen scrape that is the only thing I can think of that is different?

 

echo trim($this->updateFile);
$filename = 'version1.tar.gz';
echo "<br>". $filename."   hello world<br>";
if (file_exists($filename)){

 

$filename =  trim($this->updateFile);
echo "<br>". $filename."   hello world<br>";
if (file_exists($filename)){

You should have the directory/path to the exact location of the file

 

$filename = '/path/to/version1.tar.gz';
