How can I check if a file exists in a certain folder, I had an idea, but I think there might be another way. This was my idea:

PHP Code:


			
<?php

$i = fopen("file.txt","r");

$data = fread($i, 1000);

$close = fclose($i);

if ($data=="") {

//Some command to delete file.txt

}

else {

$name = $data;

}

?>

But I don't know how to delete a file. Or is there an easy way to check if file exists?
