!file_exists problem

Hi There,

I've trying to see if a file exists and this is the code I have.

if(!file_exists("usr/home/mydomain/data/images/afdfl.jpg"))
{
echo "DOES EXIST";
} else {
echo "DOES NOT EXIST";
}

However... it always exists... it doesn't matter what path I put in or what file name. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

You do realise that you have your check the wrong way around?

!file_exists() is true if the file does not exist.

besides that php sometimes (and I'm not saying it's the case here) prefers to have brackets around whatever you want to negate:

if (!(file_exists()))
{
};

you're not using /usr so it's using the current directory and because your logic is backwards as vincent pointed out, it will always not exist/exist.

echo (file_exists("/usr/home/mydomain/data/images/afdf1.jpg") ? "DOES": "DOES NOT";
echo " EXIST";

should do it
