Question

How to print custom error when trying to include/require a php file ?

This was my idea:

<?php 

try{
    include "template/".$_GET['view'].".php"; 
}
catch (Exception $e){
    echo 'some error code'; 
};

?>

But, still I’m getting default error if required file don’t exist.

Decided the comment was worth changing to answer:

Use file_exists() to see if file exists.

If it does, include, else echo your custom error message.
