note 115630 added to function.simplexml-load-file

Hi I am new to php, just started to work on it last week and I am already feeling good coding it :). So I have a issue for which I need help.. I am using simplexml_load_file, and it works well but sometimes what happens is the downloaded file is not at all XML and I get list of errors displaying on browser, what I want is to check if the file is not XML I should skip for the next feed. I didnt find try catch help ful or may be I am doing it in wrong way. Can someone please help. $myFilePath = __DIR__ . '/' . "../newsfeeds/error2.xml"; $data = simplexml_load_file($myFilePath); I am getting error on the lower line.
