ID: 12972 Updated by: mfischer Reported By: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Old Status: Open Status: Closed Bug Type: Filesystem function related Operating System: Redhat 6.2 PHP Version: 4.0.5 New Comment: Wrong. You use file_exists() to first determine if something exists. The name is a bit misleading, you can verify existense of files, directories and links (read: any file type). file_exists() is written to _not_ output any error. Whereas the is_*() functions are for good reason. So, if you don't want to use file_exists(), you need to use @is_*(). This is the expected behaviour. - Markus Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-08-27 07:19:34] [EMAIL PROTECTED] when using the is_file function and a file is not found an error is sent back to the error log. I expect this simply to return false in this case. I am aware of file_exists, however in the manual: Returns true if the filename exists and is a regular file. Therefore I expect this to also be testing for file existence. I do not expect debugging output leading me to have to use @is_file and possibly miss other crucial error output. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=12972&edit=1 -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
