fileexists

[Luigi203]

Whats the deal with fileexists()? Is it just not working correctly? This is starting to annoy me..

PHP Code:

function PosseExists( getfile) {
  return fileExists("documents/posses/" @ getfile @ ".arc");
} 


No matter what I try, fileExists() constantly returns false.

Ask yourself it the file exists!

I know the file exists.. but the script doesnt :]

You may need to give the npc-server read rights to the file.

Anyway, here is a function which uses loadlines to check if a file exists.

PHP Code:

function fileexists2(file) {
  temp.file.loadlines(file);
  
  if (temp.file.length() > 0) {
    return true;
  }

  return false;
}

Ahh that's not true though because the file can still have 0 bytes and exist but your function would return false! It is better to do:
temp.file.size() > 0

I think it might have something to do with the folder configuration. Certain functions work or don't work outside of the levels/ folder.
