file_exists only in Netscape

[ainars]

problem with this script:

if( file_exists("optionfiles/$country.txt"))
{

$city = file("optionfiles/$country.txt");
    $num_cities =  count($city);
    echo "<select name='city'>";

    for ($i=0; $i<$num_cities; $i++)
    {

            echo "$city[$i]";
    }
    echo "</select>";
}

else {
echo "<select name='city'><option value='0' selected>No cities list for this country</option></select>";

}

In netscape, if file-exists, this file is being included.... In Internet Explorer returns "No cities list for this country" even if file exists. Where is the problem?

I tried to change the script to:

if( file_exists( "/home/virtual/site5/public_html/optionfiles/$country.txt" ) )

but the same - ok in Netscape, but not in MIE.

Thanks.

It should not be a browser problem, since the code is executed server side.

Could try playing around with the paths, e.g. using ..

Also, try with say, Opera.

Yes, i know that the code is execuded server side... But as I wrote only Netscape displays it correctly... Strange...

The same "if file_exists" I use to display pictures and it works fine in both Netscape and MIE...
