[PHPiCalendar-DEV] file_exists bug on Linux

[Brett O'C. <oco...@do...>]

Hello PHPiCalendar Developers!

I recently installed PHPiCalendar on a Linux 7.3 / PHP 4.2.3 server and=20=

had some problems regarding the code below (lines 37-40 in=20
functions/init.inc.php):

if (file_exists($lang_file)) {
	include($lang_file);
} else {
	exit(error('The requested language "'.$language.'" is not a =
supported=20
language. Please use the configuration file to choose a supported=20
language.'));
}=00=00

It appears that file_exists will be false if the web user running under=20=

apache does not have permission to peruse the full directory string (or=20=

at least that's what I suspect so far).

I also noticed someone else had this problem in this forum message:

http://phpicalendar.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3D92&highlight=3D=


S/he was having this problem on Linux also.

I just commented out the if statement for now and forced the include=20
and things work great, but I thought you would like to know about this=20=

bug.  If I am able to come up with a better solution (perhaps a way to=20=

check for the file via URL string?) I will let you know.

Brett
