Description: ------------ The following method checks for a file's existence, taking the current include path into consideration. Test script: --------------- /** * Checks for a file's existence, taking the current include path into consideration * * This method can be called statically (e.g., File_Util::fileExists('config.php')) * * @param string $filename * @param string $slash the directory separator (optional) * @return false|string * @access public * @static */ function fileExists($filename, $slash = DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR) { $includePath = ini_get('include_path'); if ($paths = explode(PATH_SEPARATOR, $includePath)) { foreach ($paths as $path) { $file = "$path$slash$filename"; if (file_exists($file)) { return $file; } } } return false; }

This bug has been fixed in CVS. If this was a documentation problem, the fix will appear on pear.php.net by the end of next Sunday (CET). If this was a problem with the pear.php.net website, the change should be live shortly. Otherwise, the fix will appear in the package's next release. Thank you for the report and for helping us make PEAR better.
