Question

I have a two part question…

1. For my file check I need to look to see if the file is present in $filechk or $dirchk.

2. How can I use a wildcard on the file extension $filename.* when doing a file check?
   I’m using is_file because I read that it’s twice as fast when checking if a file exists.

code

$filechk1 = "/temp/files/" . $data[0] . ".doc";
$filechk2 = "/temp/files/" . $data[1] . ".doc";
$dirchk1 = "/temp/files/" . $IDname . $data[0] . ".doc";
$dirchk2 = "/temp/files/" . $IDname . $data[1] . ".doc";            
if(is_file($filechk1) && ($filechk2)){
   ...
}
else { ... }

Answer 1

you should get a list of all of the files in the directory and then check the file extensions – is_file is for a single file only.
