I am testing out the PHP clearstatchache function as follows:
//[1] First attempt to access non-existent file
var_dump(file_exists("gates.txt"));
returns false
//[2] Now manually create the file in the directory.
//[3] Run the script again.
It returns true.
//[4] manually delete the file
//[5] run script once again
returns false
Now from my understanding of the following line from the http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.clearstatcache.php
"You should also note that PHP doesn't cache information about non-existent files. So, if you call file_exists() on a file that doesn't exist, it will return FALSE until you create the file. If you create the file, it will return TRUE even if you then delete the file."
The function should return true after I manually delete the file.
Any explanations would help!
