[RESOLVED] Is it possible to bypass this error...?

[Channel5]

I've been expermenting with loading RSS feeds with PHP but I'm stuck on one problem:

If the feed doesn't exist I want to display a "user friendly" error but when I use this code, it also brings back the "server error".

Any way around this, so it just shows my own error message?

$content = file_get_contents('http://www.site.com/feed.xml');

if(empty($content)){
   echo 'ERROR: Couldn\'t load feed';
}
else{
   $rss = new SimpleXmlElement($content); 
   echo '<h1><a href="' .$rss->channel->item->link. '">' .$rss->channel->item->title. '</a></h1>';
}

put an @ in front of file_get_contents to suppress its error so you can use your own. Be careful with @, errors are your friend

You could add the "@" error-suppression operator before the call to file_get_contents(), or change the [man]error_reporting/man level and/or turn off the 'display_errors' setting.

Just what I needed!

Thanks guys.
