SimpleXMLElement: Avoid Fatal Error

[thdim]

Hello Everybody,

 

In my code I use the SimpleXMLElement object to handle some RSS files like this:

$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($feedurl, NULL, true);

 

and it works perfect BUT when there is any problem with the $feedurl (like url change) the SimpleXMLElement crashes with a Fatal Error and that destroys my application flow. Is there any way to avoid SimpleXMLElement crashing? any ideas?

 

p.s. I've tried using  $xml = @new SimpleXMLElement($feedurl, NULL, true); but without success.

 

thanks,

if ($xml = simplexml_load_file ('my.xml') )
{
       // process $xml
}
else
{
         //error
}

Ok I solve the problem with the use of simplexml_load_string(), first open the file with fopen read the contents with stream_get_contents and then sent the string to simplexml_load_string.

Wow, that sounds easier than simplexml_load_file
