How can the issue of a file not being found in PHP despite being present in the directory be addressed?

If a file is not being found in PHP despite being present in the directory, it could be due to incorrect file paths or permissions. To address this issue, double-check the file path to ensure it is correct and make sure that the file has the necessary read permissions for the PHP script to access it. 

$file_path = '/path/to/your/file.txt';

if (file_exists($file_path)) {
    // File exists, proceed with reading or manipulating the file
    $file_contents = file_get_contents($file_path);
    echo $file_contents;
} else {
    echo "File not found.";
}
