I have this code that checks for a file if it exists and do something if it doesnt exist. Problem exist when im updating my data on the directory, even if i did upload it. it still shows the non-existent data. I have read that i should add the clearstatcache();, how am i going to use it? after the file_exists? or before? here's my code ## $itemCode_SHOW = $row[2]; $filename =("/www/images/stockprod/$itemCode_SHOW.jpg"); if (file_exists($filename)) { $itemCode_SHOW = $row[2]; } else { $itemCode_SHOW = "noimage"; } clearstatcache(); ## -- Louie Miranda http://www.axishift.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
