This thread began because file_exists() WILL NOT tell that a file exists FOR SURE and FOR CERTAIN if the file you check for happens to be named whatever.jpg and whatever.JPG exists. I know this because IMagick then chokes on whatever.jpg because it DOESN't exist. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
