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)?

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

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.

        Thanks for any help - sorry for the miscommunication earlier.
