file-exists

The actual code looks like this: if (file_exists($filename)) {echo $player; } else { echo 'something'; but it displays the player even if the id is not called from the url i need something like this: check if $filename exists and $id it is not empty then echo $player if else echo something else i check if $id is not empty with if(empty($id)) echo "text"; but i don't know how to combine both of them Can somebody help me? Thank you for all your code examples but i still have a problem: How i check if $id is not empty then echo the rest of code if (!empty($id) && file_exists($filename)) Just use

I am using exist(x, 'file') to check for the existence of a file on my machine. The execution of this command takes FOREVER (over 10 seconds per call!). My matlabpath is not too long (about 200 entries) and all folders on path are on my local drive (no network). Why does exist takes forever? Is there a way to make it run FASTER? PS, This call to exist is part of Matlab's execution of loadlibrary . So, if you are calling loadlibrary and you don't know why it takes forever - this question is also for you. Andrew Janke Here's one idea. You could put the directory containing those header files up

I am trying to check for a specific file in a given directory. I don't want the code but I want to fix the one I have. The only difference in this question, is that I look for files with an extension .MOD . I have the code ready:- public static int checkExists(String directory, String file) { File dir = new File(directory); File[] dir_contents = dir.listFiles(); String temp = file + ".MOD"; boolean check = new File(temp).exists(); System.out.println("Check"+check); // -->always says false for(int i = 0; i<dir_contents.length;i++) { if(dir_contents[i].getName() == (file + ".MOD")) return

This question has been asked many times, but none of the answers I found helped me. I am trying to get php file_exists() to work. The only scenario when it works is when the php-file is in the same directory as the file to use file_exist() on and only using the file name (i.e. excluding the path). But it's not consequent behaviour, please see below. Som information: safe_mode=off no symlinks for directory 28 no whitespace in the file name All directories in /var/www/html/smic/upload/28/ has apache:apache 777 as permission. Using php 5.3 PHP: echo getcwd() clearstatcache(); $file = 'file:///var

I've figured out how to use call() to get my python script to run a command: import subprocess mycommandline = ['lumberjack', '-sleep all night', '-work all day'] subprocess.call(mycommandline) This works but there's a problem, what if users don't have lumberjack in their command path? It would work if lumberjack was put in the same directory as the python script, but how does the script know it should look for lumberjack? I figured if there was a command-not-found error then lumberjack wouldn't be in the command path, the script could try to figure out what its directory is and look for

Which one should you use when you want to include a PHP file? if(file_exists($file) require "$file"; or if(is_readable($file) require "$file"; ? file_exists() or is_readable() Which one should you use when you want to include a PHP file? This depends on if you want to know if only a file or a directory exists, or if either is fine, and if you need to check if readable or not. Sometimes you only care the file and/or directory exist, and don't need to read, sometimes you also need to read. Options file_exists() Checks whether a file or directory exists. If you explicitly only want to know if a
