Since PHP5 many/most filesystem functions can be used with "some" URL wrappers.
That's good and all *but* now it's quite difficult to check if file is on localhost or
not.
It�s possible to use parse_url() and check if "scheme" is set for instance but
I belive we should insert new optional argument to file_exists(), is_file() and
is_dir() etc.
example;
bool file_exists ( string filename [, bool strict ] ) where strict is default to false
but when true only check if filename exists on localhost.
Agree? Or is there a simpler/better way of doing this?
