Hello; Is there something about a zipped directory that will defeat these two functions? (Or am I just missing some un dotted i or crossed t?) My intention is to select a zip archived directory for download. when code checks for the existence of file, the function fails to find it. So I added test for directory: if(!is_file($_file) || !is_dir($_file)) { // returns error string } I have checked the path info and it appears to be correct. The target does exist by the name and path specified in the location specified. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
