because you can't directly use the $annrow[id] within single quotes, you
should use double quotes to do so.

You will probably need to use
file_exists(cherpdocs/{$annrow['id']}.doc) you could also use
file_exists('cherpdocs/' . $annrow['id'] . '.doc')
You should use single quotes to identify your element in an array,
otherwise PHP will try to use it as a constant first.
