if statement - if image in this dir doesnt exsist...

[sgtpepper]

How can I create an IF statement that looks for an image in a directory on the server....

I tried this:

<?
if( '/var/www/html/mages/$first_part_of_photo/$row[Id]_2.jpg' != NULL )
{
?>

But...no go....how can I do this?

try usinf fopen() in the if statement instead of just the path to the image

ie if(fopen(/image_path))

reg

or just use

$filename = "/var/www/html/mages/$first_part_of_photo/" . $row['Id'] . "_2.jpg"; 
if (is_file($filename)) {
  do something
  }
