Question

What i want to do is find if a file in a different top folder exists.

Lets say I want to access the file this "page".html, I would have to access it like:

file_exists('../data/pages/this "page".html')

But that wont work, it just returns false. Any suggestions?

i am making a flat file cms, so filenames can have quotes. url: http://ffcms.comxa.com/admin

pass: pswd

Thanks in advance.

file_exists('../data/pages/this%20"page".html');

%20 for space character

file_exists works on the file system and not via HTTP. So %20 will not be recognized as space but literally as %20 use spaces instead:
