Bug description: is_file() and file_exist() do not return anything but false...
Description:
------------
is_file and file_exists() bugged?
Reproduce code:
---------------
I am kind of a newbie at coding PHP, but I recently inserted the code
//if(is_file("$main_link_files/$file"))
if(file_exists("http://www.rfiles.com/rp/downloads/files/remo_test.zip";))
{
header("Location: $main_link_files/$file");
}
else
{
include('inc/site_header.inc');
echo "Sorry, the file you have requested is either invalid or
missing.<br> Please try again later or contact an
administrator.<br>$main_link_files/$file";
}
and all I end up being returned is false, leading me to the "Sorry, etc".
I've tried, is_file() and file_exists(), and have ended up with the same
result.
Now, I'm not sure if this is a problem, but I am actually hosting the file
off of my webspace, which is on another webserver, apart from the script,
which is hosted on my server machine.
I troubleshooted this for hours, and still come up with false, but yet the
direct link works from the header if I remove the checks.
I even made sure all the permissions are set to 777 in the CHMod file
properties.
Any help would be very appreciated.
Thank You.
Expected result:
----------------
True.
Actual result:
--------------
False.
