If you know what the local file name and path are supposed to be, then you
should be able to use file_exists() for that task.

Mike,
Thanks, but it's not a local file. I host my service, but the file being
cked is (not) mounted on the users' own university website. So I thnk its
more a case or url-checking.
I've tested file_exists using the url and that doesn't work.
Cheers
George

Thanks for moving me in the right direction. fopen() will test the
existence of a file at the end of a url.
Cheers

Subject: RE: [PHP-WIN] checking
In that case, try using fopen()
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.fopen.php
You should be able to check the file handle and check for success or failure
and simply close it after the check is complete.
Just have to have allow_url_fopen enabled in PHP to do so.
