I think file_exists returns false for remote files ;) Even if it did (it doesn't: http://uk3.php.net/manual/en/wrappers.ftp.php), I'd still rather not let someone steal my /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow etc. files. As I said before. Some form of regexp or similar restriction is 100%

Good idea yes. But apparantly Windows couldn't do it either. :-( function file_exists_windows($path) { exec('dir ' . $path, $output, $return_status); return $return_status == 0 ? true : false; // Windows dir will return 0 when something was found } It works with normal ascii file names, but
