DIE! text file DIE!

[Anon]

Im opening a file on a remote server using the code below :

$test=file("http://www.securetrading.com/download/currencyrates/curr-gbp-ns-today.txt");

I need to check if the connect to the file failed... any tips...?

Thanks again in advance...

i would try:

$data = array();
$data = @file(...);

$ok = false;
foreach($data as $line)
{
if(trim($line) != "")
$ok = true;
}

if(!$ok) die("sorry, no data");

so if only one line in $data is not blank, the file is considered as read ok.
