No worries, file_exists() was what I was looking for.

When managers hold endless meetings, the programmers write games. When
accountants talk of quarterly profits, the development budget is about
to be cut. When senior scientists talk blue sky, the clouds are about to
roll in. Truly, this is not the Tao of Programming. When managers make
commitments, game programs are ignored. When accountants make long-range
plans, harmony and order are about to be restored. When senior
scientists address the problems at hand, the problems will soon be
solved. Truly, this is the Tao of Programming. -- Geoffrey James, "The
Tao of Programming"
