no wait. You cant do file_exists on a url, only a linux path. I knew it was a trick question!

I've run into a few issues on file_exists not working on big movie files also... I believe approaching 2-3 gb limits.

Looks like the beginnings of a tube script.

$url="http://www.site.com/video.flv";

$fp = fopen('$url', 'r');
if($fp) {
	$filename="$url";
	fclose($fp);
}

$url="http://www.site.com/video.flv";

$fp = fopen('$url', 'r');
if($fp) {
	$filename="$url";
	fclose($fp);
}

thats really bad code

Yeah, there's no sense in using the resources to open the file just to check for its existence and also (I haven't done anything in PHP for years so I may be wrong) I think fopen() by default doesn't allow you to open up URLs for security reasons.

To the OP, as konrad said, replace the $url with the local FS path and it should be fine.

$url="http://www.site.com/video.flv";

$fp = fopen('$url', 'r');
if($fp) {
	$filename="$url";
	fclose($fp);
}

Don't do this. Not only will this use a whole lot of ram, it will download the file over http first.

TRY :

$file = "full/server/path/to/file/video.mp4" ;
$url = "http://somedomain.com/" ;

IF (file_exists( $file)) {
$filename = $url/video.mp4';
} ELSE {
$filename = $url/video.flv';
}

[Brujah]

$filename = $url.'video.mp4';
$ch = curl_init($filename);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_NOBODY, TRUE);
curl_exec($ch);

$ret = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
if ($ret >= '400')
{
	$filename = $url.'video.flv';
}

curl_close($ch);

use file_exists works for local and url

Don't do this. Not only will this use a whole lot of ram, it will download the file over http first.

It's a strange way to do things, but I don't think it would download the entire file. At most it would read the response and a few K of data until the buffer becomes full.
