Here is my conversation with Mike Rodgers. Maybe it will help to remember the
conclusion of previous discussion.
Agreed.
These changes should be made into toggles. If you ask me, if the file
doesn't exist, it's not a file. That shouldn't be an error message.

This has been discussed, but I don't remeber the conclusion.
Anyone remember that?
I think we need consistent rule for error messages....

We have found it out when upgraded our PHP from ver.4.0.1 to 4.1.0 . Function
is_file() prints error message if file doesn't exist. The error message looks like:
"Warning: stat failed for /home/.../index.phtml (errno=2 - No such file or directory)
in /home/.../index.phtml on line 17"
When I tried to simulate the problem in test file - it didn't appear . But then I
included my configuration file which contained other inclusions for our corporate API.
Problem appeared in the test file. I commented inclusion line - problem still appear.
After typing the message above, I refreshed that page - problem disappeared. All
further tryings to cause error got failed.
Problem appears constanlty on our sites where we use this function.
