The is_file() function checks whether the specified file name is a normal file.
is_file — Tells whether the filename is a regular file
Usage:
bool is_file ( string $filename ) $file is a required parameter
Returns TRUE if the file exists and is a normal file.
Let’s look at an example one:
<?php var_dump(is_file('a_file.txt')) . "\n"; var_dump(is_file('/usr/bin/')) . "\n"; ?>
The above example will output:
bool(true)
bool(false)
Example 2:
<?php function isfile($file){ return preg_match('/^[^.^:^?^-][^:^?]*.(?i)' . getexts() . '$/',$file); //first character cannot be . : ? - subsequent characters can't be a : ? //then a . character and must end with one of your extentions //getexts() can be replaced with your extentions pattern } function getexts(){ //list acceptable file extensions here return '(app|avi|doc|docx|exe|ico|mid|midi|mov|mp3| mpg|mpeg|pdf|psd|qt|ra|ram|rm|rtf|txt|wav|word|xls)'; } echo isfile('/Users/YourUserName/Sites/index.html'); ?>
Example 3:
<?php function deletefolder($path) { if ($handle=opendir($path)) { while (false!==($file=readdir($handle))) { if ($file<>"." AND $file<>"..") { if (is_file($path.'/'.$file)) { @unlink($path.'/'.$file); } if (is_dir($path.'/'.$file)) { deletefolder($path.'/'.$file); @rmdir($path.'/'.$file); } } } } } ?>
This function will delete all files and folders.
