file_exists

[Jyotsna]

Does anyone know if "file_exists" works in Windows IIS?
Because this is the code I have and I always get the default picture

$caminho ="www/htdocs/imagens/fotos/";
$caminhourl ="../imagens/fotos/";
$file=$caminho.$linhadocente["id_doc"];
switch(true)
{

case file_exists($file.".jpg"):
$foto=$file.'.jpg';
break;

case file_exists($file.".gif"):
$foto=$file.'.gif';
break;

case file_exists($file.".bmp"):
$foto=$file.'.bmp';
break;

default:
$foto=$caminhourl.'silhueta.gif';
break;
}

echo '<img src="'.$foto.'" border=1 width="100" height="150">'; ?>

you need to check the absolute path of the filename. what drive is the path $caminho located in?

[Jyotsna]

the pictures are in C:\WebPub[url]www.upt.pt\www\htdocs\imagens\fotos[/url]

Do I need to use the absolute path?

Hi,

for file_exist the path must be an absolute path, I can't see any C:..... thing in your path, So php will search the path in your current directory.

Do you have "www/htdocs/imagens/fotos/" folder inside the folder where the script is?

Check!!!!

The script is in www/htdocs/departementos/

But the code worked in Linux Apache. I didn't write it myself, I'm just converting te site to Windows IIS

Didn't know it would give so many difficulties, but I've never worked with PHP before

So you put
$caminho ="C:\WebPub\www.upt.pt\www\htdocs\imagens\fotos\";
