If the path starts with a / this means the path is absolute. When the path is relative (ie not starting with /) then the path relative to the php script is taken. If you want to have /folder/file.jpg relative to the server root, you can append the root.

$path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/folder/file.jpg';

Use $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']:

$is_file = is_file($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/folder/file.jpg');
