file_exists and is_file always false

    Date: 02/19/05 (PHP Community)    Keywords: database

    Please help me with this, I'm trying to create a handler for a 404 error, and i feel like I'm close, but my if statement always returns a false. Code below cut


    $user = "MHeath81";
    $filename = "http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/rdf/history/$user";
    if (is_file($filename)) {
    $fp = fopen($filename, "r");
    }
    else {
    Header("Content-type: image/jpeg");
    $im = imageCreateFromJPEG("scrobbler.jpg");
    $m1 = "Last track played:";
    $nomessage = "Tracks database currently unavailable";
    $red = ImageColorAllocate($im, 249, 79, 79);
    $white = ImageColorAllocate($im, 0, 0, 0);
    ImageString($im,2,5,1,$m1,$red);
    ImageString($im,3,11,95,$nomessage,$white);
    ImageString($im,3,10,94,$nomessage,$red);
    ImageJPEG($im, '', 90);
    ImageDestroy($im);
    }


    Any help greatly appreciated, I feel like I'm missing something really stupid, it could even be the way I'm accessing the file using is_file or file_exists.
