- Testing files, lets test for some existence and status of a file called text1.txt
<?php
// Checking its existence
if (file_exists(“text1.txt”)) {
echo “The file text1.txt exists!”;
}
// checking the status of files
if (is_readable(“text1.txt”)) {
echo “The file text1.txt is readable”;
}
if (is_writeable(“text1.txt”)) {
echo “The file text1.txt is writeable”;
}
if (is_executable(“text1.txt”)) {
echo “The file text1.txt is exectuable”;
}
?>
You probably only see “The file text1.txt exists”. If you only see this, you will need to chmod the read,write and execute settings on that file.
The code is easy to understand with true condition return. Here are some useful links as well:
