need PERL to PHP help

OK, in PERL, i can check a file to see if it exists, by doing this:

Code:

---

if (-e "somefile.txt") {  ... }

---

which means "if this file exists, then do whatever block of code"...

how do i do the equivalent in PHP? i've looked and looked but couldn't find the answer.

Hi Hagan :D


http://php.net/file-exists

PHP Code:

---

<?php
$filename = '/path/to/foo.txt';

if (file_exists($filename)) {
   print "The file $filename exists";
} else {
   print "The file $filename does not exist";
}
?>

---

hope that helps
