Exception handling with file()

["John Papas" <jspapas@xxxxxxxxx>]

I need to open a remote file with file() and I would like to put it
inside a try-catch but as far as I can tell file() does not raise an
exception if it fails. The following code:

	try {
	   $data = file('http://myserver.com/myfile.txt');
	   $date = substr($data, 0);
	} catch (Exception $e) {
	   $data = "it failed";
	}
	
	echo $data;

echoes a warning:

	Warning: file('http://myserver.com/myfile.txt') [function.file]:
failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
