PHP question - how to detect if file exists?

[Aldar]

Hi! This my first post :)

 

I searched for contribution to display more (and arbitrary) product images in product_info.php. It seems all these contributions altering database (or coding extra static HTML for each product, which seems too complex way for me).

 

My idea is add some PHP code in product_info.php. This code must look for product picture, for example product_id_1, product_id_2, product_id_3 etc and display them IF such image file exists.

 

Since I'm starting PHP programmer (but experinced application developer :)), I don't know how to detect in PHP if some particular file exists?

 

Thanks, Aldar

You woud use

if (file_exists ( $imagename )

Although if you are planning on using oscommerce, you need to come to grips with contributions. Installing the MoPics contribution will give you code that is much more versatile than what your are atempting to do.
