fopen challange...

Hmm i have a fopen script going to a remote server to pick up which song is being played in a radiostation…

The problem is that when the remote server is down due to internet provice problems the radio station webpage works with finding the remote file for a long time and finally return a long error message…

heres the script…

[php]

</head>
<body>

	<script type="text/javascript">
		setTimeout(function() {Ajax();}, 10000);
	</script>
	<div id="ReloadThis">

<?php $file = fopen ("http://xxx.xxxx.xxx/onair.wsx", "r"); $inn = fread($file, 200000); preg_match_all("/(.*?)<\/titleName>/ei", $inn, $Matches); $tittel = $Matches[0][0]; $nytittel = $Matches[0][1]; preg_match_all("/(.*?)<\/artistName>/ei", $inn, $Matches); $artist = $Matches[0][0]; $nyartist = $Matches[0][1]; echo " Spilles Nå: $artist - $tittel"; ?> [/php]

as you see i have a javascript to autoupdate…

is there anyway i can get this to output a simple text if the server is down or unreachable??? to smooth down the pageload of the radio website???
