Check to see if file exists in template?

[RetroDreams]

Is it possible to see if a file exists in a template? If so, how is it done?

You can use something like

<if condition="file_exists('path/to/file')">
    <!-- DISPLAY SOME HTML -->
</if>

However if you want to excute some PHP code (as opposed to displaying some HTML) you will need to create a plugin with the relevant Hook Location and PHP code and then use some kind of output from the code or whatever you want to do.

You cannot use the function file_exists() in a template conditional unless you first add it to the template safe functions list.

Ah I thought you could use any PHP code

May be better just to use a plugin then.
