Why it does not find the file ?

Anon

Sorry to bother again, but I cannot get more information about file_exists statement...

I've used the following code to check for a image file existance:

if (file_exists("/path/$row

.jpg")) { 
    echo ("Exist");
}
    echo ("Not Exist");


The path is right infact if I use $row[code] like src image name, picture is displayed.

Is the syntax correct ?

Why it doesn't find the file while it is present ?

Anon

why don't you have quotes around code?

file_exists("/path/" . $row["code"] . ".jpg")

is correct.

The path is right infact if I use $row

 like src image name,
picture is displayed.

When you use it in an <IMG> it's relative to Apache's document root.
When you use it in file_exists(), it's not.

And so ?

Is the path related to Unix root directory so ?

Shoud I put something like /home/httpd/html/path !?

Thanks

hello,
Actually even i am facing a problem of relative paths but it is a bit different .
I want to rename a file which is in a directory named saveimage on the server.
For file_exists function if i give relative path eg file_exists("saveimage/filename.gif") it takes this correctly but if i write rename("saveimage/filename.gif","saveimage/newfilename.gif") it gives error that no file or directory exists.
can anyone plz help me out as I am new to php.
