Checking cUrl Responses

[netfrugal]

I pull data from the usps tracking site. Most of the time everything works just fine.

The only thing I have a problem with is if they are returning something I haven't prepared for. Is there a way I can cause a die() statement if this occurs?

// $result is the data I get back from usps

$theString = str_replace("</>", "", $result); // just taking out something I don't want.

I do get a response, even if what I get back isn't what I typically expected.

But I am not quite sure how to cause that str_replace() to die() if "</>" does not even exist.

Any ideas?

Simplest thing might just be to see if $theString == $result after the str_replace(). (If they are the same, then nothing was replaced).
