I'm connecting to a webservice that sometimes fails, and I need to make the system skip a file if it returns some http error or something similar. php xml simplexml share|improve this question edited Jun 23 '13 at 23:21 hakre 134k26216390 asked Dec 16 '09 at 21:30 yoda 5,875145179 add a comment| 6 Answers 6 active oldest votes up vote 6 down vote xml error message accepted Using @ is just plain dirty. If you look at the manual, there is an options parameter: SimpleXMLElement simplexml_load_file ( string $filename [, string $class_name = "SimpleXMLElement" [, int $options = 0 [, string $ns = "" [, bool $is_prefix = false ]]]] ) All option list is available here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/libxml.constants.php This is the correct way to suppress warnings: $xml = simplexml_load_file('file.xml', 'SimpleXMLElement', LIBXML_NOWARNING); share|improve this answer answered Apr 17 '13 at 5:14 Mārtiņš Briedis 10.7k12849 Thanks for the update, I believe some of the options listed weren't active in 2009, not sure though. I'm marking this as the correct answer anyway since it's the current best answer. –yoda Apr 17 '13 at 13:33 Tried. Does not catch or supress all warnings... Agree @ is plain dirty as well –PALEN Mar 2 at 17:41 add a comment| up vote 6 down vote If you're not interested in error reporting or logging when the webservice fails you can use the error supression operator: $xml= @simplexml_load_file('http://tri.ad/test.xml'); if ($xml) { // Do some stuff . . . } But this is a simple hack. A more robust solution would be to load the XML file with cURL, log any failed requests, parse any XML docum here for a quick overview of the site Help Center Detailed answers to any questions you might have Meta Discuss the workings and policies of this site About Us Learn more about Stack Overflow the company Business Learn more about hiring developers or posting ads with us Stack Overflow Questions Jobs Documentation Tags Users Badges Ask Question x Dismiss Join the Stack Overflow Community Stack Overflow is a community of 6.2 million programmers, just like you, helping each other.

I have the following call: $xml = simplexml_load_file($request_url); Occasionally it loads fine but other times I get this output instead: Warning: simplexml_load_file(http://mysite.tumblr.com/api/read?type=post&start=0&num=10&type=photo) [function.simplexml-load-file]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed!
