I want to create a simple search if a “folder” exists. If it doesn’t I want a notification similar to form_validation error.
I’ve developed the coding below however the 1st line works but the 2nd line doesn’t work.
if(!is_dir('members/$boss'))
$this->form_error('$boss', 'The boss username does not exist');
I want an error notification - The boss username does not exist’
But if the folder does exist then the process continues.
I’ve searched many sites which some come close but not precisely what I want.
Maybe the 2nd line can be replaced with some Javascript?
Can anybody guide me?

I get some sense out of the following;
if(!file_exists("C:xampp/htdocs/file1/name.php")) exit ("$name DoesNotExist");
if(!file_exists("C:xampp/htdocs/file2/name.php")) exit ("$name DoesNotExist");
It only works “sometimes” but I want it working “all the time”.
Is there some Javascript that can do the same job but without exiting?

As a result of searching for a remedy to this problem, I have found that it is inadvisable to facilitate client side programming (which is what Javascript is) to “file_exists” and “is_dir” functions due to security risks.
Therefore this matter should be CLOSED.
