I know this has been explained many times, but there's something I must be missing, because I still don't get why the following code is not working, anyone can help?!?

Code:

<?php
$foldername = 'http://www.whatsoever.exp/folderIdliketocheck';

if (ffile_exists($foldername)) {
    echo "It exists!!!";
} else {
    echo "No, it doesn't...";
}
?>

You should replace ffile_exists with file_exists, only one (f), but the following code may work better for determining if a file is a directory (folder).

PHP Code:

<?php

$foldername = 'http://www.whatsoever.exp/folderIdliketocheck';

if (@is_dir($foldername))
{
echo "Directory exists";
}
else
{
echo "Directory does not exist";
}

// not tested
?>

It won't work with URLs. It only works for local files. If you want to check if a remote folder exists, you could use get_headers() and fetch the HTTP status code.

Another thing you could do is check to see if a file exists in the directory, maybe "check.check" (it doesn't really need to be a file with any contents, just a file existing there for the namesake), and run through "(file_exists('check.check'))". It's a little back-route, but if the file exists, the directory has to exist.
