PHPRunner General questions

Can anyone tell me how to get phprunner to ignore php errors, like if a file is not present, or simple_xml fails to connect.
I have tried all the regular things, like putting a @ infront and error_reporting(0) etc., but it still gives me an error.

The correct approach is to make sure that your code doesn't produce errors. Ignoring errors is a bad idea in general.

In my program I load data from a web API that returns data as XML. So I use simplexml to parse it.

But I can't be sure that the API is always listening.
So do you have any suggestion how check if that simplexml request won't return errors before I call it?

Claus,
in PHP you can set your own error handler:

You can set your own error handler right before making that simplexml request.
