DaMouse: Try looking at www.php.net/fopen : the 3rd comment should work:
To check if a file exists using http or ftp use the following: $fp = @fopen("http://www.someurl.com/testfile.php3","r"); if ($fp) { print"The file exists!"; } else { print"The file does not exist"; } Note: The "@" in front of fopen suppresses the error output of the function. I hope this clears up some confusion. -Dash -----Original Message----- From: DaMouse [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, November 17, 2002 1:36 PM To: PHP - Win Subject: [PHP-WIN] file_exists() is there a way to find if a file exists on a remote server?
