Verify if a File exists with PHP
In PHP, function to check if a file exists in a folder path is file_exists.
Just pass the file with complete path to this function. If the file is present, then this function will return True. Otherwise you will get a False as return code.
Here is a sample code snippet.
$pathtofile = '/folder1/subfolder1/filename.ext'; //Returns True or False echo file_exists($pathtofile); //Handle Return code in If Condition if (file_exists($pathtofile)) { echo "File found in directory path";} else { echo "File not found in the path";}
The return code can be printed or assigned to a Boolean variable and used inside your php code.
