There are various methods for securing file_exists() ...
If you want to secure ... so that's unsecure , is'nt it ?

I didn't say that file_exists() is secure, did I?

I don't think that is critical problem.
If it's not a problem Why you show us a methode to secure ?

I didn't say that it is not a problem but that it is not a critical problem.

I think many programmers don't know this problem exists !
But there is too much hypocresy in php community to admit this
vulnerability.

This is not a PHP vulnerability but a PHP Script vulnerablity, and I am sure
that many php programmers are aware of security problems while using
file_exists().

The article : http://www.zend.com/zend/art/art-oertli.php
don't talk about this sorry...

What is the problem, very interesting article, old one but still very
interesting.

Best wishes,
Escobar
