Dear Onno and interested list members...

Problem solved -- thanks to Onno's helpful hints and a good night's sleep!
The problem arises in the use of PHP with Apache2 and seems to relate
pretty exclusively to the file_exists function.

The code fragment
      file_exists("thisfile.ext")
needs to be rewritten as
      file_exists(getcwd()."/thisfile.ext")
in order that the corrrect path be prepended to the to-be-tested file.

Interestingly enough the fopen function behaves correctly without having
to have the extra path info.

Further reading in the php manual pages related to the file_exists
function and especially in the many comments made by users.  Doh!

Sincere thanks,
Denis
