i need the PHP code for recognising if a directory named "userfiles" exists.

i also need the PHP code for redirecting to another PHP file.

Difficulty digging them out? file_exists() and is_dir() and header(). Amazing.

ok so i did this:

Code: Select all

<?php
if (is_dir('userfiles')){
echo "userfile DOES exist";
else
echo "userfiles does NOT exist";
?>
and it outputs this:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ELSE in /index.php on line 4

Code: Select all

<?php
if (is_dir('userfiles'))
     {
     echo "userfiles DOES exist";
     } //You were missing this brace
else
     { //and this brace
     echo "userfiles does NOT exist";
     } //and this brace.
?>
