file_exists help

bike5

When I use file_exists, it always returns TRUE. It works when the file IS there, but when the file is NOT there it still executes and then gives an unlink error.

if(file_exists($row["pic"])){
		unlink("$row[pic]");
		}else{
		echo'not there';
		}

$row["pic"] has been tested with blank, folders and names after the root path, file name, random letter, everything has returned TRUE... Is there something I need to do different?
Thanks for any help.

Hmm, you might try assigning the array value to a single variable and trying again. Just a hunch, prolly won't work, though....

well the single var didn't work and I still can't figure this out so... is there anyway to avoid the warning-

"Warning: unlink() failed (Permission denied) in C:\FoxServ\www\dbl\upload_profile_pic.php on line 89"

without using a die statement because I don't want to end the execution of the script, just to make that error go away.?? I tried the trigger_error but that only adds another error which I didn't want.

Thanks for your help.

If the error is 'permission denied,' then change the permissions....

As to the other try

@unlink

---but I dunno if that'll help....
