I am building a small technical reference library probably 300 to 500 mainly PDF documents. The Title, description etc is held in the Db and the file is uploaded using the same form that inserts the record.
Now at times, it is inevitable that a record will exist without a PDF file on the end of the download link.
What I would like is some form of detection method that (within a page with 10 to 50 Links) spots a link with no file present. I can then use this "Flag" to highlight the missing file by say colouring the Link Text or something.
Speed is not a factor as this would be located within the Admin area so that these error situations can be spotted and rectified.
The error detection pages and PDF files will be in neighbouring directories.
I am using PHP with MYSQL and have full access to htaccess.
Any help or suggestion would be most welcome.

Thanks Mooro, that is far too obvious. I was searching via Google for combinations of file and missing.

I too had done that before I found file_exists, it's a beauty.
Obvious is simple, simple is good!
