Execute 1000 times, respectively, and record the time required.
File exists (current directory)
Is_file: 0.4570 ms
File_exists: 2.0640 ms
File exists (absolute path layer 3/www/hx//)
Is_file: 0.4909 ms
File_exists: 3.3500 ms
File exists (absolute path layer 5/www/hx/a/B/c /)

File_exists: 4.2100 ms
File does not exist (current directory)

File does not exist (absolute path layer 5/www/hx/a/B/c /)
Is_file: 4.1909 ms
File_exists: 4.1502 ms
Directory exists
File_exists: 2.9271 ms
Is_dir: 0.4601 ms
The directory does not exist.
File_exists: 2.9719 ms
Is_dir: 2.9359 ms
Is_file ($ file)
File_exists ($ file)
When $ file is a directory, is_file returns false, and file_exists returns true.
If the file exists, is_file is much faster than file_exists;
The deeper the directory where the file to be detected is, the faster the speed difference is, but at least four times faster.
If the file does not exist, is_file is a little slower than file_exists, but it is negligible.
If the directory exists, is_dir is much faster than file_exists;
If the directory does not exist, is_dir is a little slower than file_exists, but it is negligible.
Conclusion:
To determine whether a file exists, use the is_file () function (),
To determine whether a directory exists, use the is_dir () function (),
It seems that file_exists is not needed. Are you sure you want to use file_exists when passing in the parameter file or directory?
