   Ok, I need a php wordpress guru here... :-)

   Usually, I call the php function file_exist for files located in my wp theme from function.php ...

   So I usually use :

   if (file_exists(TEMPLATEPATH.'blahblahblah') )

   But, now i need to call this fuction for a file elsewhere in my public_html

   I tried 'home/user/public_html/blahblahblah' , but it doesn't work...

   Don't you have any hint for me ?

   Thanks!

   you can do this:

   if (file_exists(dirname(__FILE__)."/wp-content/themes/theme-name/blah.php"))
    {

   he he he... Sorry If sound dumb :-))

   My WP is, let's say, in : public_html/wp/

   And I want the function to look in public_html/xyz/abc/

   I know it's not a php forum... :-) But could you give me more details on "dirname(__FILE__)." ?

   Thanks
