# File

- `File()`

Validates whether file input is as a regular filename.

```php
v::file()->isValid(__FILE__); // true
v::file()->isValid(__DIR__); // false
```

This validator will consider SplFileInfo instances, so you can do something like:

```php
v::file()->isValid(new SplFileInfo('file.txt'));
```
