The PHP 4 ChangeLog (http://www.php.net/ChangeLog-4.php) has this for
version 4.3.2:
Fixed bug #21531 (file_exists() and other filestat functions report
errors when the requested file/directory does not exists). (Sara)
and this for version 4.3.3:
Fixed bug #24313 (file_exists() warning on non-existent files when
open_basedir is used). (Ilia)
Cheers!
Mike

Ya got me.
In 4.3.9 it doesn't do that any more either.
I'm getting old.
It would be nice to document when it changed if anybody *does* know.

You'll need to use @ in front, because it generates an error message when
it doesn't find the file you're not sure exists. :-(
What version? On 5.0.2 file_exists('nonexistingfile'); does not generate
any error message.
