Using the include path for file_exists doesn't sound useful to me, for similar reasons as those for not allowing to write a file in the include path - which file are you actually writing to? What if someone puts a file with the same name earlier in the include path and so on.
What is probably better is some kind of generic path-searching function that returns the full path to the first file in the include_path (or some other path). --Wez. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lukas Smith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, September 30, 2003 11:32 AM Subject: [PHP-DEV] file_exists and array_merge_clobber > Hi, > > We have a new intern who got right to work to improve file_exists() to > also be able to check the include_path similar to how fopen() can. -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
