Since upgrading to a newer PHP Version file_exists() doesn't work any more. It returns always false, no matter if the file given as argument exists or not.

include(), however, works fine.

By the way, it doesn't work with absolute paths either, as the other bug report about file_exists() said.

What is your exact PHP Version, the CVS snapshot of yesterday?

I tried with the 'latest' snapshot yesterday and today, but both produce make errors so I used the yesterdays latest-STABLE

Works fine here with PHP 4.2.3. Please check the file 
permissions, etc. And if it doesn't work with 4.2.3, give us a little bit more information about this..

(like an example script..what sapi you're using, etc.)

I am experiencing this problem too. Functions is_file() and is_dir() function ok but file_exists() return always false.
My system is RedHat 7.1 (kernel 2.4.2-2), Apache 2.0.42 (source distribution), PHP 4.2.3 (from source bz2 file).
My configure command:
'./configure' '--with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs' '--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql' '--enable-ftp' '--enable-imap'
