It seems you want to get an HTTP status code. In this case, you need to read it here:

$http_response_header

Otherwise, if you want to get a general error, follow the deceze instructions.

http://php.net/file_get_contents
The function returns read data or FALSE on failure.

This either works or not, as such:

$file = file_get_contents(...);
if ($file === false) {
    die();
}

PS: , , file_get_contents . HTTP URL-, cURL HTTP .

How ? Php the docs , file_get_contents()will return falsefor any errors, so all you can do is

if ($content=file_get_contents($filename)===false) die("Error reading file $filename");

you can call it that:

$data = file_get_contents("http://site.com/that.php");
if ($data !== FALSE) {
   // analyze data
}
