List of invalid feeds

I am planning to use SimplePie to aggregate lots of RSS.

I was unable to find a way how I can display the list of invalid feeds. Those feeds where a actual rss/atom feed was not found or data could not be extracted.

Can you please help me?

I just want to know which of the feeds set in the set_feed_url are invalid.

Thank you in advance

I am not sure I understand the question. I believe SimplePie will yield and error when you're fetching feeds that have gone 404 or are not feeds anymore. Make sure you catch this error. Have you considered Superfeedr too? - Julien Genestoux
I have a big list of feeds...from time to time they might not work. I would like to have change to get a list of those feeds that do not work. Those that either give a 404 or their content cannot be identified. The initial validation gives up only a warning if something is wrong with one of the feeds. - user3527759

I call $feed->error() after calling $feed->init(), which returns an array with any feeds that had errors. You can use that information to remove the feeds from your list.
