Re: Trapping failure of file_get_contents()

I have a script that downloads a sequence of files online. Every hundred files or so, it fails with:

Check for the return value being equal to false: <?php

    if( ($sFil = file_get_contents( $sURL )) === false )
    {
        // FAIL
    }
    else
    {
        // SUCCESS
    }

?> Make sure you use the triple '=' comparison operator since you need to check against the type being boolean also. Cheers, Rob. -- http://www.interjinn.com Application and Templating Framework for PHP
