Example #1 is_readable() example

<?php
$filename 
'test.txt';

is_readable($filename)) {
    echo 
'The file is readable';
} else {

失敗時拋出E_WARNING警告。

註釋

Keep in mind that PHP may be accessing the file as the user id that the web server runs as (often 'nobody'). Safe mode limitations are not taken into account before PHP 5.1.5.

Tip

PHP 5.0.0 起本函式也可被某些 URL wrapper 使用。參考Supported Protocols and Wrappers 來看哪些 wrapper 支援 stat() 系列函式的功能。

Note:

The check is done using the real UID/GID instead of the effective one.

This function may return TRUE for directories. Use is_dir() to distinguish file and directory.

DrTebi at yahoo dot com is wrong. is_readable() checks whether you can do file_get_contents() or similar calls, no more, no less. If the location given returns a 500 or 403 error, you can still read() that (you'll simply get the error page), but it's still read()able. Using is_readable to check the validity of a URL is simply the wrong function.

Note that is_readable() will return false for streams, eg, php://stdin.

is readable recursively. Check all sub directories and files readable
<?php
function is_readable_r($dir) {
    if (
is_dir($dir)) {
        if(
is_readable($dir)){
           
$objects = scandir($dir);
            foreach (
$objects as $object) {
                if (
$object != "." && $object != "..") {
                    if (!
is_readable_r($dir."/".$object)) return false;
                    else continue;
                }
            }   
            return
true;   
        }else{
            return
false;
        }
       
    }else if(
file_exists($dir)){
        return (
is_readable($dir));
       
    }
}

?>

Sometimes in situations where file_exists fails (returns false even though the file does exist) stat will work.
