[web] PHP file_exists problem
Author
Hi all! PHP Newb here,hoping you could help..
I've got the following code:
which is supposed to display an image file if it exists and a predefined one if it doesn't. The problem is that it always displays the predefined file, unless I negate the result from file_exists (but then the code attempts to display images that doesn't exist too). Yes, the images exist(the path is correct too, if I paste the output path[by the commented echo] into the url it works) and I have have a near identical setup with a different set of images, which works.If you need more info, just ask. Anybody got any idea here?
edit:added source tags.
file_exists() works with the local file system, so you'll need to pass the local path, such as /var/www/html/images/foo.jpg.

Fix found but I'm not sure why.. Apparently there were some problems with a symlink in the path ('/home/cmmdb/www/...' instead of '/home/cmmdb/public_html/...') but that doesn't explain why the (what was originally) near identical version below always worked. The Poster code started out as the below snipped with paths changed and one added row of str_replace..
The finished,working,snippet:
Note: If it says "str_replace(':',':'..." that's just the forum pouting because I replace ':' with '& #58;' without the space.
