PHP include - conditional

Here's what I need to do... I just need someone to translate it into PHP:

If file 12345.txt exists, <?php include 'aaaaa.html'; ?>
If file 12345.txt does not exist, <?php include 'bbbbb.html'; ?>

What is the correct PHP syntax for this?

Thanks!

    You should use the if/else statement

    Code:
    if (condition)
  code to be executed if condition is true;
else
  code to be executed if condition is false;
  • Right, but that's what I'm asking for... the actual code needed. The correct syntax. Thanks.
  • $textfile="test123.txt";

    if (file_exists($textfile))
    { include "filename1.htm"; }
    else
    { include "filename2.htm"; }

    Sorry Gene - misunderstood - thought you wanted the syntax, not the actual code.

    Glad you got it sorted.

    Cheers.

    • Then it's my mistake... I used the word syntax thinking in terms of code... lol

      Thanks for your help
