The is_executable Function
The is_executable function checks if the specified file can be executed. It returns true if the file exists and is executable, and false otherwise. It accepts a file path as a string parameter.

Let's check if the file 'script.php' is executable:
<?php
$res = is_executable('script.php');
var_dump($res);
?>
Code execution result:
true
Example
Let's check a non-existent file:
<?php
$res = is_executable('nonexistent.php');
var_dump($res);
?>
Code execution result:
false
Example
Let's check a regular text file:
<?php
$res = is_executable('readme.txt');
