PHP stat() issue

[Sonzai]

Hello,

 

  I have a program in which I make a call to stat() simply to determine whether a file exists, which it initially doesn't - the next time the program is called it will exist but I am still getting a warning - I am passing an absolute path to state and the files in questions are pipes to a C process. Any suggestions/ideas? additionally, everything exists in the same directory

 

Thank you for any and all help!

What's the warning that you are getting? What's the code you're using?

    define("logdir", "/var/www/html/");

    $toDebugger = logdir."OUT".$_SESSION['uniqueID'];
    $fromDebugger = logdir."IN".$_SESSION['uniqueID'];    
        $fileCheckO = stat($toDebugger);

If all you want to do is see if the files exist or not, and don't need any of the other info stat returns, then use file_exists instead.
