Subject: Checking if file is on localhost or not, implent optional argument
 to file_exists() ?
From: bjori@jeshus.com (Hannes Magnusson)

	Since PHP5 many/most filesystem functions can be used with "some" URL wrap=
pers.
That's good and all *but* now it's quite difficult to check if file is on l=
ocalhost or not.

	It=B4s possible to use parse_url() and check if "scheme" is set for instan=
ce but I belive we should insert new optional argument to file_exists(), is=
_file() and is_dir() etc.
example;
bool file_exists ( string filename [, bool strict ] ) where strict is defau=
lt to false but when true only check if filename exists on localhost.

Agree? Or is there a simpler/better way of doing this?
