(dot). this works fine: -------------------------------------------------------------- if(file_exists(test/normal-file)) { die ("error message"); } this does not work: -------------------------------------------------------------- if(file_exists(test/.hidden-file)) { die ("error message"); } --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ATTENTION!
