+## Error Handling
+
+Of course, you should always apply some error handling to your scripts as well. PHPExcel throws exceptions, so you can wrap all your code that accesses the library methods within Try/Catch blocks to trap for any problems that are encountered, and deal with them in an appropriate manner.
+
+The PHPExcel Readers throw a PHPExcel_Reader_Exception.
+
+```php
+$inputFileName = './sampleData/example-1.xls';
+
+try {
+    /** Load $inputFileName to a PHPExcel Object  **/
+    $objPHPExcel = PHPExcel_IOFactory::load($inputFileName);
+} catch(PHPExcel_Reader_Exception $e) {
+    die('Error loading file: '.$e->getMessage());
+}
+```
+ > See Examples/Reader/exampleReader16.php for a working example of this code.
