if you want to check when this function fails,make sure to compare the return value with === instead of == : <?php $url = 'http://www.example.com'; $xml = simpleXML_load_file($url,"SimpleXMLElement",LIBXML_NOCDATA); if($xml === FALSE) { //deal with error } else { //do stuff } ?> Otherwise you may end up with FALSE all the time even if the document is ok. Hope this helps someone ;) --was-- if you want to check when this function fails,make sure to compare the return value with === instead of == : $url = 'http://www.example.com'; $xml = simpleXML_load_file($url,"SimpleXMLElement",LIBXML_NOCDATA); if($xml === FALSE) { //deal with error } else { //do stuff } Otherwise you may end up with FALSE all the time even if the document is ok.
