file_exists

[eranwein]

i need to check if an uploaded file exists.
i'm using file_exists($filename).
as i understand, the $filename should be the path and name of the uploaded file.
$_FILES['uploadedFile']['name'] returns only the name but not the path.
so how do i do it?

the file is uploaded to $_FILES['uploadedFile']['tmp_name']. best thing to do then is to use is_uploaded_file, such as:

[code]
if (is_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedFile']['tmp_name'])) {

... we got the file, use move_uploaded_file to put it in a proper home

}
else
{
  .... we not got the file
}
[/code]

hope that helps
