I'm really confused about paths. Now I think that it is not a good idea
to learn on local server, beacause whenever one changes to a shared
one, all seems to fail....

Any hints?

To show the current file:
<?php print __FILE__ ?>

I don't understand what are you trying to say. I was asking about how
can it be possible that file_exist didn't find a file which obviously
exists. I cant figure out where the error is; thats all...

if the file is in the same directory as script.... then..

<?php
if(file_exists( "test.php"))pri nt("file is here!");
?>

MUST work :-)

Well, I think my ISP has any kind of weird php.ini file which prevents
even the basic things like file_exists

http://200.58.112.233/~ke000067/myself.php

<?PHP
if(file_exists( "myself.php ")){

print("file is here!");

}else{
print ("Incredible :(");
}

?>

I cant believe ;(

Julian,

It should work if you either use relative addressing ("test.php") or
absolute addressing from the web server's root directory
($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/test.php") assuming test.php is in the
root directory.

I develop a lot of scripts on my local machine and upload them with no
problems.

The fact you're having problems with such a basic function indicates to
me your hosting service has something set up incorrectly.
