[mkdir] exists or not

[sysout]

How to check if a directory if exists or not?


if($induk[$i] != 'root'){
try{
mkdir("../../stok/".$induk[$i], 777);
mkdir("../../thumbs/".$induk[$i], 777);
}
catch(Exception $e){
//nothing to do
}
mkdir("../../stok/".$induk[$i]."/".$kategori[$i], 777);
mkdir("../../thumbs/".$induk[$i]."/".$kategori[$i], 777);
}
else{
mkdir("../../stok/".$kategori[$i], 777);
mkdir("../../thumbs/".$kategori[$i], 777);
}
I've tried to use try catch Exception, but there's no effect at all.

Hope that somebody can help me.
Thanks

<?php
$file = "some_file.txt";
if(file_exists($file)){
echo "The file ".$file." exists!";
}
else {
echo "Sorry, the file ".$file." doesn't exist!";
}
?>

[sysout]

can it effects directory?

Thanks

What do you mean 'effect'?

[sysout]

file_exists($file) -> can it be done for :

$folder = "../../stok/Temp";

file_exists($folder);

is it works?

File_exists returns 1 or 0. So no... You'd have to do:


<?php
// ... code here
echo file_exists($folder);
?>

Which will echo 1 if it exists, and nothing if it doesn't.

File_exists returns 1 or 0.Actually, true or false. In PHP these are hacked up with 1 and the empty string, ''. Why? Why are the two equivalents taken from different types? Why do people still use PHP? Nobody knows.

[Nile]

There's nothing wrong with php...

What else are we gonna use anyways? ASP? Yuck..

Of course not. *cough (http://b.lericson.se/~toxik/php_sucks_rant.log)* *cough (http://www.bitstorm.org/edwin/en/php/)*

Alternatives? Python, Ruby, Haskell, Common Lisp, C#, F#... heck, even Java's somewhat preferable. It may be huge and clumsy, but it doesn't have hacks like that in it.
