Another alternative is to look into the track_errors INI directive which will populate the $php_errormsg variable with the last error that occurred... in that case something like the following could be done: $fr = @fopen("http://www.coggeshall.org/myfile.php",'r'); if(!$fr) { echo "The error that occurred was $php_errormsg"; // Do test on the error message here } Although that won't be absolutely full-proof (since there is no absolute which says that the error message "failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found" is going to be identical in new PHP versions) it is an option to consider.
