You can also set your error handler as an anonymous function that calls an Exception and use a try / catch on that exception.

set_error_handler(
    function ($severity, $message, $file, $line) {
        throw new ErrorException($message, $severity, $severity, $file, $line);
    }
);

try {
    file_get_contents('www.google.com');
}
catch (Exception $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage();
}

restore_error_handler();

Seems like a lot of code to catch one little error, but if you're using exceptions throughout your app, you would only need to do this once, way at the top (in an included config file, for instance), and it will convert all your errors to Exceptions throughout.

My favourite way to do this is fairly simple  if  false       data   file get contents  quot http   www google com quot              error   error get last          echo  quot HTTP request failed  Error was   quot     error  message      else         echo  quot Everything went better than expected quot      I found this after experimenting with the try catch from  enobrev above  but this allows for less lengthy  and IMO  more readable  code  We simply use error get last to get the text of the last error  and file get contents returns false on failure  so a simple  quot if quot  can catch that

This will try to get the data  if it does not work  it will catch the error and allow you to do anything you need within the catch   try        content   file get contents  site     catch  Exception  e        return  The file was not found

One alternative is to suppress the error and also throw an exception which you can catch later  This is especially useful if there are multiple calls to file get contents   in your code  since you don t need to suppress and handle all of them manually  Instead  several calls can be made to this function in a single try catch block      Returns the contents of a file function file contents  path         str    file get contents  path       if   str     FALSE            throw new Exception  Cannot access   path  to read contents           else           return  str              Example try       file contents  a        file contents  b        file contents  c      catch  Exception  e           Deal with it      echo  Error       e- gt getMessage
