Nobody called him/her stupid. In fact it's probably a very bright individual, 
getting others to do their work for them ;)

The definition of a question assumes the person is uninformed - else,
why ask the question?

Perhaps the list should have an autoreponse with 'check the php.net 
manual' as a canned response to every post.  :)

Wouldn't it be more helpful to assume that the individual is simply
uninformed?  So isntead of flaming him and calling him stupid you could say,
"Check the PHP manual at www.php.net".

PHP has one of the best laid out manuals. Even a cursory search for 
"directory" in the main chapter headings would have lead to the correct 
answer. Talk about lazy or what?

In the spirit of sharing I'll supply a link to tfm

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.is-dir.php
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.file-exists.php

sometimes it's hard to rtfm if you don't even know what you are looking
for.
