[PHP] RE: @file problems w/ remote files
How about wrapping the @file(...); in an if(file_exists(...)) {...}
Doesn't seem to give an error at all , even without the @. I've tested this
on non-existant domain names and with my firewall internet connection
blocked.

Subject: @file problems w/ remote files
Hi,
This is regarding the same problem that Jeff posted earlier (yes,
the exast
same problem - I'm working with him). He seems to have given some
of you
the wrong impression about the problem - he is not ignoring your
posts, it's
just that the posts aren't helping the problem ;)
The problem is that the @ isn't suppressing the warnings properly.
Our code
is currently trying to pull the results of a script off a server -
and if it
can't, it uses the most current copy stored locally. The problem,
is that
while we are expecting the @ to suppress the warnings (and thereby
letting
us continue on to use file() on the local copy), it is instead
allowing file
to spit out a warning which kills the script.
We are currently getting a errornum of 2, and it's spitting out
fopen(filename) - Success which is exceedingly annoying.
What would be perfect, is if someone knows of an alternate way to
download a
file from a server - if that failed, set a flag and continue
processing
rather than simply erroring out.
Thanks for any help - sorry for the miscommunication earlier.
Joseph

Thanks Tim,
I had aready tried that and it didn't work either - go figure.
I did, however, manage to work around the problem by setting
error_reporting(0) before the operation, then returning error_reporting to
it's previous value, and continuing on my mery way.
Thanks for all the suggestions,
Joseph

RE: [PHP] RE: @file problems w/ remote files
Good day,
I had not even noticed the @ character... and you are right, your original
setup should have supressed the message.
Most likely this is a bug; it would be worthwhile to post it on PHP's bug
list to prevent future pain and suffering for people doing the same thing.
=)
Question, though... if the host is resolvable, but the file does not exist,
does the function print an error (with the @ character)?
