The following code, in a file called "test.php" will only 
ever print "is_file OK".

This is rather a large flaw?

<?php

if (file_exists('test.php')) 
	echo "file_exists OK"; 
	
if (is_file('test.php')) 
	echo "is_file OK"; 	

?>

Sorry, but the bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking
support questions. Your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.
For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP,
please visit http://www.php.net/support.php

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

Please try using this CVS snapshot:

  http://snaps.php.net/php4-latest.tar.gz
 
For Windows:
 
  http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-latest.zip

Works here with the latest CVS HEAD. (I don't have 4.2.3 installed so can't test if this was fixed or not.)

It was fixed in 4.2.4-dev which can be downloaded at http://snaps.php.net/php4-STABLE-latest.tar.gz

I have this built and installed now and it is indeed fixed 
in 4.2.4-dev. Roll on 4.2.4

Thankyou
