i want to check if the file name exist and if it does display a message AND print the contents of the file AND if the file DOES NOT exist display a message. here is my code: <?PHP $compname = $_POST['compname']; if (file_exists($compname)) { echo "NOTE: $compname exists in our inventory"; } elseif (file_exists($compname)) { (file_get_contents('$compname')); echo $compname; } else { echo "NOTE: $compname does NOT exists in our inventory"; } ?> |
