file exist?

[ligraci]

Hi all!

I need to open a file from a folder on a remote server, but I don't want any PHP warnings on screen when the file is missing. How can I check if the file exist before opening it?

// This prints me a warning message
if(fopen("filename.txt", "r") != FALSE){ 
$ok = file("filename.txt");
}

Thanks

There is [man]file_exists/man.

$filetoopen="filename.txt";
if (file_exists($filetoopen)) 

...
}
