If error then continue and not die - possible?

[oskare100]

Hello,

I have the following code:

$request = file_get_contents($request_url) or die("feed not loading");

 

If the file_get_contents($request_url) doesn't load/respond then the script echoes "feed not loading" and stops.

 

I want the script to echo "feed not loading" and then continue and just skip that part of the script that needed the file contents.

 

Is that possible?

 

Best Regards

try removing the or die part?

You can't use short-circuiting (... or die(); syntax) with echo. Make it an if:

 

<?php

if(!$request = file_get_contents($request_url))
   echo "feed not loading";

?>

 

Orio.
