[benbox]

when i have a file being included.. i.e.
include "file.php"
or require "file.php"

how can i make it return a simple message (with no errors) if it cannot find the file...

ive tried DIE and various other things, but they didnt seem to work...

thanks for anyhelp!

$path = /httpdocs/whateverelse // menaning the absolute path of the page

if (fileexists($path."file.php")) {include("file.php");}
else {echo "It seems file.php is still on holiday"}

how do i get around this?

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: fileexists()

Should be file_exists

Just a bit more spread out...

if (file_exists("filename.txt"))
   {
     include ("filename.txt");
   }
else
   {
     echo "The file filename.txt seems to be missing";
   }

that worked 🙂

but i think my absolute path is wrong 🙁
should it be like http://www.mydomain.com/files/
or one of those confusing ones like /myhost/m/y/public/ kinda thing.. if so how can i find what it is?

[benbox]

actually ignor that... figured it out 😉
i was trying to make it too complicated
