Turn off error message at Get_file_content

[andyfarang]

I'm using get_file_content and sometimes I get failed to open stream http, which isn't a problem, but displaying that message is a problem.

 

Can I turn it off (in a script, not in php.ini etc.)?

There's the error suppression operator.

 

Whether that's a good idea is debatable, though, because it will suppress all errors, including serious ones. Consider using a more professional HTTP client like cURL.

Thank you.

Perhaps instead of suppressing the error you trap for a False result and either then ignore it or display a short message to the user?

 

if (fopen($filename) === False)
{
$err_message = "Could not open file: $filename";
// include this var in your final output
// decide here whether to continue on or not
}
// at this point you have successfully opened it.

 

Just my $.02.

This is about the HTTP stream wrapper which automatically emits warnings when there's an HTTP-related problem. It's not possible to catch those errors (except for hacks like a temporary error handler).
