[PHP] Problem with file_exists()
Hi, I've been reported a weird problem with one of the scripts that we have, which uses the file_exists() function. It returned true once, and then the query ran again, and it reported false, on the same file. This was true for a lot of files in the same directory, but only over a cerain period of time. As I had time to try to investigate, the problem stopped occuring. This script has been used for a long time, and this is the first time that this has happened. I've checked some of the files that they were having problems with, and they have not been modified for a few days, so I doubt they were locked or anything like that. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? This is running Solaris 8, Apache 1.3.26 with PHP 4.2.1 compiled into it. I've also checked file permissions and they were all good. Any idea would be appreciated! Thanks a lot, Steve Johnson -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Problem on file_exists() function
Dear all
I had made a test.txt file which stored in the following window path :
c:\pdf_reports\dealing\test.txt,
In my page, i ask php to check the test.txt exist in foler
(c:\pdf_reports\dealing) using the following script:
if (file_exists(c:\\pdf_reports\\dealing\\test.txt))
{
print (exist);
}
else
{
print (Doesn't Exist!);
}
It seems that php can't detect the file in such path!!!
I had made another test on this, i moved the test.txt to one level up which
is (c:\pdf_reports) and i use the following script :
if (file_exists(c:\\pdf_reports\\test.txt))
{
print (exist);
}
else
{
print (Doesn't Exist!);
}
Then it can detect the file is there! why?

Thx a lot!

While this isn't your problem, it's nicer coding. Single quotes and
forward slashes:
if ( file_exists('c:/pdf_reports/dealing/test.txt') )
if (file_exists(c:\\pdf_reports\\test.txt))
Then it can detect the file is there! why?
Probably, PHP doesn't have permissions on the dealing directory or you
misspelled it.

RE: [PHP] Problem on file_exists()
Jack, try using forward slashes instead of backslashes;eg $fp = fopen(//nedcoraa/pdf_reports/dealing/filename.ext, r+); Cheers -Original Message- From: Jack [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, 16 July 2002 5:02 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Problem on file_exists() Dear all I had a folder which the path is : (\\nedcoraa\pdf_reports\dealing room\report) it stores a lot of PDF reports in there.
