Using PHRETS for the first time

[Kevin]

Hello all,

I am using PHRETS for the first time integrating real estate with a
CMS and I have a couple of questions.

1. Is it okay if I removed die() statements from PHRETS? Is there a
flag to not immediately exit on an error and just log what happens?
I'd rather grab the error and log it myself if not. For example, if
the RETS server is unavailable I don't want my site to go down. Would
anyone object if I changed die() to my own way of error handling? I
just want it to fail silently in most cases and email me.

2. Can anyone point me to some basic examples of PHRETS? For instance,
if I wanted to get all single family residential listings available. I
looked on the PHRETS site and could not piece it together.
