I planned to use the following function testing for a flag file 'offline_message.txt' to disable my application and contain an offline message.

function isOffLine() {
  global $OffLineMessage;
  $OffLineMessage = "" ;
  $OffLineFilename = "offline_message.txt" ;

  if (!($fp = fopen($OffLineFilename, "r"))) {
    return false;
    } else {
    $OffLineMessage = file( $OffLineFilename ) ;
    return true;
    }
}

However bothe the fopen & file functions generates an unexpected and unwanted warning messages to the output stream.

Warning: fopen("offline_message.txt", "r") - No such file or directory in /var/www/html/webmail/common.php on line 104

Warning: file("offline_message.txt") - No such file or directory in /var/www/html/webmail/common.php on line 105
