Can You please look at my code: If it helps, here is some code that I dug up from an old project: I would also verify that the web server has permissions to the files that php is trying to open. Internet Explorer 8 seems to have a problem with the filename parameter in the Content-disposition header being enclosed in quotes.

I see in the manual that file_exists can now check URLs, but my guess
would be that it needs to have the allow_url_fopen statement in the
php.ini set to "On".

See what you get with this
http://aa.yolasite.com/resources/happytears.doc";;
if (file_exists($filepath)) {
echo 'File found';
} else {
echo 'File NOT found';
}
?>

Example: $filepath = "/path/to/file/"; Regards, Ryan -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
