The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

PHP file_exists with wildcard

Asked by fastfind1 in PHP and Databases

Tags:

I have a php script that works perfectly, IF there are PDF files in the directory.  IF there are PDF files in the directory, my script merges them all into one pdf, using pdftk copies the merged pdf to a new folder and deletes the old pdf's that were merged.

But if there are no PDF files and the script is run, then my script produces an error, because there are no files to merge.

I need to add an IF statement to first check and see if there are 1 or more files in the directory.  If yes, then run the script.  If no then don't run the script.  So I don't need to change the script, other than to somehow put it within an IF statement that first checks to see if at least one pdf file is in the /group directory.Start Free Trial

//here is where the pdftk application merges all of the pdf files in the directory /home/swipeweb/public_html/crm/cbacks/group/.  The merged
