A workaround to get rid of this persistent stat cache when using file_exists is to combine the file_exists function with the function realpath(). $ttt="/Volumes/testdaniel/ttt.txt"; if(file_exists(realpath($ttt))){ echo "exists"; }else{ echo "not exists"; } Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-04-27 15:30:57] j...@php.net Same issue as in bug #46245 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-04-23 15:39:27] dlafond at lenouvelliste dot qc dot ca Description: ------------ When files are saved on AFP or SMB mounted sharing, file_exists() and clearstatcache() function are not working as expected. No problem when files are saved on local disk. On AFP or SMB volume, file_exists continue to return true when the file is deleted outside of PHP. clearstatcache() function seems to have no effect. But, if the file is deleted with the unlink() function in php, file_exists return false. Reproduce code: --------------- <? header("Content-type: text/html"); header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT"); header("Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache,must-revalidate"); header("Cache-Control: post-check=0, pre-check=0",false); header("Pragma: no-cache"); clearstatcache(); $ttt="/Volumes/testdaniel/ttt.txt"; #exec("touch ".$ttt); #...@unlink($ttt); if(file_exists($ttt)){ echo "exists"; }else{ echo "not exists"; } clearstatcache(); ?> Expected result: ---------------- "exists" when file really exists "not exists" when file doesn't exists Actual result: -------------- "exists" even after the file was deleted ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=48062&edit=1
