Fixed a little bug when an RSS feed cannot be read by the main page. If you guys see it anymore please let me know.

Warning: fopen(http://www.gamedev.net/xml/) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! in /...cut.../portal.php on line 419

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /...cut.../portal.php on line 430

Too much infos for hackers
This error comes in the main page only, though the rssfeed box works fine, in fact it says:

GameDev.net News:
Error reading RSS data.

Yeah, I've been seeing it too. :? Crappy GameDev.net RSS feed source.

PHP 4 doesn't have try does it? I've been trying (irony) to make fopen return nothing (or at least just not complain for all to see) when it chokes. The fclose error is fairly easy to resolve, however.

In order to disable all warnings you could use:

error_reporting (0);

as the first call in your php page or, at least, you can disable the warning of a function by using @ in this way:

@fopen(....)

[WILL]

Ah ok... thanks a bunch!

So the @ solution will disable the error reporting only for that line, correct?

I'd want to know about other errors besides that one still.

[Legolas]

Yes, and it should work for all that functions that return warning/error/info

[WILL]

Ok it's in... NOW, if you guys see any errors, please let me know.
