I have this code:
Instead of going in the catch { } when it fails to load the RSS it goes:

Hi Parse,

The problem seems to be that you're checking for a Zend_Feed_Exception, while the code throws a Zend_Http_Client_Adapter_Exception. That means that the latter should be subclassed from the first, or you should check for both.

Obviously, there is always the possibility to check for Zend_Exception, since every Exception inherits from that.

Regards,

Berry.

To illustrate:

try {
$channel = Zend_Feed::import($r['parentURL']);
} catch (Zend_Feed_Exception $e) {
$insertArray = array('statusParentID' => $r['parentID'], 'statusDate' => time(),'statusError' => $e->getMessage());
$db->insert('feed_status', $insertArray);
} catch( Zend_Exception ) {
/** Exception is catched here, if the exception wasn't Zend_Feed_Exception or child. **/
}

Thanks berry. Works like a charm.
