  That's what you have things like ? ini_set(display_errors, off); ?
 

 what about doing it like this?

 ?php

 $filename = __FILE__;

 $stat_info = @stat($filename);

 if ( $stat_info ) {
 // do something...
 }

 The '@' will suppress the E_WARNING notice
 if stat fails the condition will fail.

I much prefer the second solution  (Jim's one) even if I find that php
limitation amazing !

Thank you for your help.
Cheers,
Manuel
