Hello Mike! Thanks for responding. I'm affraid I haven't described problem well enough. Function is_file() still returns FALSE. But in the same time it types error message to output. It doesn't affect program's flow but affects interface. I understand that if we parse name "is_file" then function seems to be assuming that argument points either to existing file or folder or link. That's true amd I'm agree with you. We should use file_exists() first. But I'm talking about different thing. I'm talking about compatibility of code written on lower version with higher version i.e. "succession of versions". "is_file()" was written very long time ago, and it was working by some way. People used that function and they knew that it works fine. Now, because of our wish to make PHP language more beautiful and logically perfect, those people have to change tonns of code. Some code has been frosen for changes and they have to make more paper work to get approval from management for making changes and so one and so forth. Why don't we leave working function in it's previous state and achieve succession of versions by that?
