function expecting string variable

[Anon]

Hi,
I am trying to find the existence of the file
But the name of the file is dynamically genearated.

if (file_exists($UserName1)):
?>
<img src="../MemberPhoto/<?echo $UserName1?>" height=125 width=125 border=0>
<?else:?>
<img src="../MemberPhoto/NoMemberPhoto.jpg" height=125 width=125 border=0 alt="Member Photo Not Available">
<?endif;?>

Here the value of variable UserName1 will be changing.

wher as the function file_exists expects a string arguemnt.

It is not detecting the file (even though it exists)

I tried
if (file_exists("" . $UserName1)):

but no use.

Pls Help.
Cheers,
Raghu

be sure file_exists is given the directory path to your file too, which appears to be ../MemberPhoto/
