I see in the manual that file_exists can now check URLs, but my guess
would be that it needs to have the allow_url_fopen statement in the
php.ini set to "On".

See what you get with this
<?php
$filepath = "http://aaaaaa.yolasite.com/resources/happytears.doc";;
if (file_exists($filepath)) {
  echo 'File found';
} else {
  echo 'File NOT found';
}
?>
