In that instance, I believe the function you are wanting to use is: file_exists();

 

But then, you need to use an absolute or relative server path.

Such as:

./html/image3.jpg < relative

or

C:\Apache2\htdocs\html\image3.jpg < absolute

or

/home/mydomain/htdocs/html/image3.jpg < *nix absolute

btw , i've seen you always quote a post before typing your answer .  it is a bad habit most of the times, for example in this thread it was obvious you are replying to my post, why quoting it ??  ( no offense)

Not really a bad habit, but its easier to see the quote button than the reply button.

Also easier to see what I'm replying to, as opposed to scrolling down the page.
