the use of @

[willwein]

Hi,

I saw some code with:
@$this->info[$this->field]
this was in a function in a class....
know about $this-> etc
but what's @??
I've never used this in php have used it in perl..

can you give me a link about it?
search engines do not allow me to search for @
because its taken as punctuation..

@ as stated before surpresses errors

It allows us to make our own error handling while letting the script finish

When using or die(); the script stops at the or die();
So have a read on DevShed for Error Handling. It teaches you how to make your own pretty error handling, as well as get why you got the error.
