eregi Formated Variable In file_exists

[rpanning]

I have a couple variables formated for use in ereg. I use them for other things in the script with eregi but I need to use them in file_exists. Ex:

$index_list = 'index|default';
$ext_list = 'php|html|htm';

// This is what I use those two for.
if (eregi("^(" . $index_list . ").(" . $ext_list . ")$",$item)) {
    // ....
}

// But I need to use them in file_exists.
if (file_exists($dir . '/' . $index_list . $ext_list)) {
    // ....
}

I think you can get what I'm trying to do. If not let me know and I'll try and explain it better.

Thanks

for($i=0;$i<sizeof($files = explode('|', $index_list));$i++)
{
     for($j=0;$j<sizeof($exts = explode('|', $ext_list));$j++)
    {
         if (file_exists($dir . '/' . $files[$i] . $exts[$j]))
         {
               //do this
          }
     }
}

may or may not work... the concept does, but I may have messed up in trying to combine so many statements into one 🙂
