PHP: Tell if a file exists?

Question

I need to be able to tell if an image exists in a directory or not. Given the file name and the directory, how can I tell if it exists?

Thanks!

Answer 1

file_exists($filename);

http://www.php.net/file_exists

Answer 2

$dir = '/var/img/'; $name = 'img.jpg';

echo is_file($dir.$name);

Answer 3

bool file_exists(string $filename)

Answer 4

If you need to know more than file_exists() you should look at the stat function... It can tell you if a file exists and if so how big it is, and what type of file it is (and about a dozen other things)...

Answer 5

<?php
$filename = '/path/to/foo.txt';

if (file_exists($filename)) {
    echo "The file $filename exists";
} else {
    echo "The file $filename does not exist";
}
?>

Answer 6

You are talking about image... possibly you try to find a way to put some "no-picture" image instead of nonexistent?

If yes - look at something like this. Else read the manual as people said before...
