simplexml error handling php

Question

I am using the following code:

function GetTwitterAvatar($username){
$xml = simplexml_load_file(\"http://twitter.com/users/\".$username.\".xml\");
$imgurl =          


        

Answer 1

I've found a nice example in the php documentation.

So the code is:

libxml_use_internal_errors(true);
$sxe = simplexml_load_string("");
if (false === $sxe) {
    echo "Failed loading XML\n";
    foreach(libxml_get_errors() as $error) {
        echo "\t", $error->message;
    }
}

And the output, as we/I expected:

Failed loading XML

Blank needed here
parsing XML declaration: '?>' expected
Opening and ending tag mismatch: xml line 1 and broken
Premature end of data in tag broken line 1
