There are no quotes on that URL... I'd be surprised if this doesn't
error out, but maybe you just need E_ALL to see the E_NOTICE you've
been ignoring.
At any rate, you need quotes, whether you realize it or not.

$x, at this point, is either FALSE because fopen() failed, or an open
file handle.
file_exists() expects the path to a file name (a string).
Perhaps you meant:
file_exists("http://www.example.com";);
http://php.net/file_exists specifically links to the kinds of
stream-wrappers that are and aren't supported. Did you read that?

Hi there!
File_exists doesn't seem to work with URLs that point to another
domain. What to use?
$x = fopen(http://www.stammis.com/getstart.php);
if file_exists($x)
file_exists() takes filename as parameter, not file pointer.
besides, spare the one http request and use @fopen() (@ will suppress
eventual warning), it will speed up your script.
I tested to use @fopen instead of fopen and it took 1 second longer...
I meant using:
if(($x = @fopen('http://www.stammis.com/getstart.php')) !== false) {
}
instead of:
if(file_exists('http://www.stammis.com/getstart.php')) {
$x = fopen('http://www.stammis.com/getstart.php');
}
And you need to check the speed more than once.

You should always try to reduce your problem to the simplest case. :-) http://php.net/file_exists The argument is a filename. Hope that helps.
