[PHP] Finding out if a table exists

2003-01-21 Thread Mako Shark

I've looked through the MySQL functions, and the closest I've gotten to what I need is mysql_list_tables or mysql_tablename (I'll have to check into these a little more), but I was hopefully looking for something that retur

Your problem is with this line: $adam=fread($ip,filesize($adam)); Remember that $adam is not a file pointer, but text read from a file. The file pointer is $ip, so the line should read: $adam=fread($ip,filesize($ip)); (and should probably be contained within an if statement for error handling).
