You can always do something like this (I assume you are using file_get_contents)



$file = @fopen("abc.com","rb");
if(!$file) { 
    @mail(.......); 
    die(); 
} 
//rest of code. Else is not needed since script will die if hit if condition

Use curl instead if you are downloading files over the network. It has error handling built in, and it will report the error to you. Using file_get_contents won't tell you what went wrong, it won't follow redirects either.



$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://domain.com/file');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
if ( $result == false ) {
    $errorInfo = curl_errno($ch).' '.curl_error($ch);
    mail(...)
} else {
    //Process file, $result contains file contents
}
