This lines loads the xml file from the url, but if file is unreachable it shows a lot of errors
**********************
$url = 'http://example.com/xml';
$file = file_get_contents($url) ;
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($file);
**********************
how can be shown simple text message if file is unreachable?

Maybe...

$url = 'http://example.com/xml';
$file = file_get_contents($url);
if ($file)
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($file);
else
echo "Could not access $url";
