# php “if” function help

 * I’m a bit stuck, I’m using the Flash Fader plugin, which includes a text file,
   I was wondering if it was possible to make the if function that I saw in the 
   WordPress documentation to only include the text file if it’s there, otherwise
   not to include anything?
 * The php on the wordpress site for plugins:
 * > <?php
   >  if (function_exists(‘FUNCTION NAME’)) { FUNCTION_NAME(); } ?>
 * The php include on the Flash Fader site:
 * >  <?php
   >  include (ABSPATH.”wp-content/flashfader/flashfaderhtml.txt”); ?>
 * Thanks in advance!

 *     ```
       <?php
       $myfile = 'some/path/to/file/thefile.txt';
       if(file_exists($myfile)) {
        include($myfile);
       }
       ?>
       ```
   
 * Checks if the file exists, then includes it if it does…
 * Is that what you need?
