If function fsock open error then echo "Error"

[JamieWarren09]

Hi guys,

got a problem, using this script to display the current song being played on my radio station :

$ip = $row['IP'];
$port = $row['Port'];
}





////////////////////
// END OF CONFIG AREA
//
// DO NOT EDIT BELOW
// UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING
////////////////////

function getNowPlaying($ip,$port)
{

$open = fsockopen($ip,$port,$errno,$errstr,'.5'); 
	if ($open) { 
	fputs($open,"GET /7.html HTTP/1.1\nUser-Agent:Mozilla\n\n"); 
	stream_set_timeout($open,'1');
	$read = fread($open,200);
	$text = explode(",",$read);
	if($text[6] == '' || $text[6] == '</body></html>'){ $msg = ' live stream '; } else { $msg = $text[6]; }
	$text = ''.$msg; 
	} else {  return false; } 
	fclose($open);
	
	return $text;	
}

now it works fine, how ever if the stations offline it gives the error :

"Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to 64.150.181.14:7028 (Connection timed out) in /home/welovera/public_html/player/index.php on line 468"

Does anyone know how i can make it display "ERROR : STATION OFFLINE" instead of the error above?

Thanks,
Jamie.

Use @fsockopen, it will suppress the error and then your already evaluating $open so change return false; for your error message.
