I have a simple code that checks whether a file exists or not in the server.
<?php
$filename = 'www.testserver/upload/productimg/IN.ZL.6L_sml.jpg';
if (file_exists($filename)) {
echo "The file $filename exists";
} else {
echo "The file $filename does not exist";
}
?>
Problem: My local webserver says that the file does not exist even though when I copy paste the url in the browser, I can see the image.
How can I make the condition say that the file does not really exist?
Another option would be, making a request and checking for the response headers:
<?php
$headers = get_headers('http://www.example.com/file.jpg');
if($headers[0]=='HTTP/1.0 200 OK'){
return true; // file exists
}else{
return false; // file doesn't exists
}
?>
Code live example:
http://codepad.viper-7.com/qfnvme
for real path of image you can try:
<?php
$filename = 'www.testserver/upload/productimg/IN.ZL.6L_sml.jpg';
$testImage = #file_get_contents($filename);
if ($testImage != NULL) {
echo "The file $filename exists";
} else {
echo "The file $filename does not exist";
}
?>
Use
$filename = $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]."/upload/productimg/IN.ZL.6L_sml.jpg";
for testing the file.

I am uploading files to a server using php and while the move_uploaded_file function returns no errors, the file is not in the destination folder. As you can see I am using the exact path from root, and the files being uploaded are lower than the max size.
$target = "/data/array1/users/ultimate/public_html/Uploads/2010/";
//Write the info to the bioHold xml file.
$xml = new DOMDocument();
$xml->load('bioHold.xml');
$xml->formatOutput = true;
$root = $xml->firstChild;
$player = $xml->createElement("player");
$image = $xml->createElement("image");
$image->setAttribute("loc", $target.basename($_FILES['image']['name']));
$player->appendChild($image);
$name = $xml->createElement("name", $_POST['name']);
$player->appendChild($name);
$number = $xml->createElement("number", $_POST['number']);
$player->appendChild($number);
$ghettoYear = $xml->createElement("ghettoYear", $_POST['ghetto']);
$player->appendChild($ghettoYear);
$schoolYear = $xml->createElement("schoolYear", $_POST['school']);
$player->appendChild($schoolYear);
$bio = $xml->createElement("bio", $_POST['bio']);
$player->appendChild($bio);
$root->appendChild($player);
$xml->save("bioHold.xml");
//Save the image to the server.
$target = $target.basename($_FILES['image']['name']);
if(is_uploaded_file($_FILES['image']['tmp_name']))
echo 'It is a file <br />';
if(!(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['image']['tmp_name'], $target))) {
echo $_FILES['image']['error']."<br />";
}
else {
echo $_FILES['image']['error']."<br />";
echo $target;
}
Any help is appreciated.

Most like this is a permissions issue. I'm going to assume you don't have any kind of direct shell access to check this stuff directly, so here's how to do it from within the script:
Check if the $target directory exists:
$target = '/data/etc....';
if (!is_dir($target)) {
die("Directory $target is not a directory");
}
Check if it's writeable:
if (!is_writable($target)) {
die("Directory $target is not writeable");
}
Check if the full target filename exists/is writable - maybe it exists but can't be overwritten:
$target = $target . basename($_FILES['image']['name']);
if (!is_writeable($target)) {
die("File $target isn't writeable");
}
Beyond that:
if(!(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['image']['tmp_name'], $target))) {
echo $_FILES['image']['error']."<br />";
}
Echoing out the error parameter here is of no use, it refers purely to the upload process. If the file was uploaded correctly, but could not be moved, this will still only echo out a 0 (e.g. the UPLOAD_ERR_OK constant). The proper way of checking for errors goes something like this:
if ($_FILES['images']['error'] === UPLOAD_ERR_OK) {
// file was properly uploaded
if (!is_uploaded_File(...)) {
die("Something done goofed - not uploaded file");
}
if (!move_uploaded_file(...)) {
echo "Couldn't move file, possible diagnostic information:"
print_r(error_get_last());
die();
}
} else {
die("Upload failed with error {$_FILES['images']['error']}");
}
You need to make sure that whoever is hosting your pages has the settings configured to allow you to upload and move files. Most will disable these functions as it's a sercurity risk.
Just email them and ask whether they are enabled.
Hope this helps.
your calls to is_uploaded_file and move_uploaded_file vary. for is_uploaded_file you are checking the 'name' and for move_uploaded_file you are passing in 'tmp_name'. try changing your call to move_uploaded_file to use 'name'
Going out of my mind with php unlinking
Here is my delete file script
$pictures = $_POST['data'];
//print_r ($pictures);
$imageone = $pictures[0];
$filename = "file:///Users/LUJO/Documents/CODE/REVLIVEGIT/wp-content/uploads/dropzone/" . $imageone;
echo $filename;
if (is_file($filename)) {
chmod($filename, 0777);
if (unlink($filename)) {
echo 'File deleted';
} else {
echo 'Cannot remove that file';
}
} else {
echo 'File does not exist';
}
The above does not work, error response is file does not exist
however if i change the filename path to this (the echo data from the echo above)
$filename = "file:///Users/LUJO/Documents/CODE/REVLIVEGIT/wp-content/uploads/dropzone/1420291529-whitetphoto.jpeg "
works fine and deletes the image.
Why can i not use the $imageone variable?
Do a print_r($pictures) to see if $pictures[0] is indeed the filename you're looking for.
Also note that if $pictures[0] is "//windows/*" you'll loose your windows if the user running PHP has administrative rights... so just using $pictures=$_POST["data"] is very VERY unsafe!
I am trying to delete a file from folder in php here is my model function
function deleteFiles()
{
$file = "http://localhost/copycopy/img/uploaded/long.jpeg";
if(is_file($file))
{
#unlink($file); // delete file
echo $file.'file deleted';
}
else
{
echo "no file";
}
}
but I always see "no file" and file is never deleted, file is in folder,because the url in $file actually displays the file in browser
help me
instead of using web url
$file = "http://localhost/copycopy/img/uploaded/long.jpeg";
use local path to file:
$file = $pathToYourWebSite . "/copycopy/img/uploaded/long.jpeg";
be sure to set $pathToYourWebSite to real location of your website;
When accessing a file in PHP, it's possible to escape from the directory using ".." which can lead to a security risk. Is there any way to validate that a file is in a specified directory? There doesn't seem to be a built-in function for it.
This is not a secure way to check if the file exists in the expected location.. you should do the following.
$base = '/expected/path/';
$filename = realpath($filename);
if ($filename === false || strncmp($filename, $base, strlen($base)) !== 0) {
echo 'Missing file or not in the expected location';
}
else {
echo 'The file exists and is in the expected location';
}
There is a very good example on php.net
http://php.net/manual/en/function.file-exists.php
<?php
$filename = '/path/to/foo.txt';
if (file_exists($filename)) {
echo "The file $filename exists";
} else {
echo "The file $filename does not exist";
}
?>
This question already has answers here:
How can one check to see if a remote file exists using PHP?
(24 answers)
Closed last month.
if (!(file_exists(http://example.com/images/thumbnail_1286954822.jpg))) {
$filefound = '0';
}
why won't this work?
if (!file_exists('http://example.com/images/thumbnail_1286954822.jpg')) {
$filefound = '0';
}
The function expects a string.
file_exists() does not work properly with HTTP URLs.
file_exists checks whether a file exist in the specified path or not.
Syntax:
file_exists ( string $filename )
Returns TRUE if the file or directory specified by filename exists; FALSE otherwise.
$filename = BASE_DIR."images/a/test.jpg";
if (file_exists($filename)){
echo "File exist.";
}else{
echo "File does not exist.";
}
Another alternative method you can use getimagesize(), it will return 0(zero) if file/directory is not available in the specified path.
if (#getimagesize($filename)) {...}
You can also use PHP get_headers() function.
Example:
function check_file_exists_here($url){
$result=get_headers($url);
return stripos($result[0],"200 OK")?true:false; //check if $result[0] has 200 OK
}
if(check_file_exists_here("http://www.mywebsite.com/file.pdf"))
echo "This file exists";
else
echo "This file does not exist";
Based on your comment to Haim, is this a file on your own server? If so, you need to use the file system path, not url (e.g. file_exists( '/path/to/images/thumbnail.jpg' )).
for me also the file_exists() function is not working properly. So I got this alternative solution. Hope this one help someone
$path = 'http://localhost/admin/public/upload/video_thumbnail/thumbnail_1564385519_0.png';
if (#GetImageSize($path)) {
echo 'File exits';
} else {
echo "File doesn't exits";
}
Check code below
if ($user->image) {
$filename = "images/" . $user->image;
if (file_exists($filename)) {
echo '<br />';
echo "File exist.";
} else {
echo '<br />';
echo "File does not exist.";
}
}
