[Resolved] Question about php 'symbols'

[Mark]

what is the point of the @ symbol, for example, when people are creating an upload script, they use:

@copy()

why?

and could someone explain these 2: -> , <-

"$somevar<- foobar()"

[Rayn]

putting @ infront of a lets say function will make it so if a error occures it will not send back a responce.

@copy(djkgfjkshdgfawybrfoa); // Will preduce no output error as I believe

-> is a pointer used with OOP to point to certain parts withing a object, such as a function or a variable.

$MyObject // The Object
-> // The pointed
MyFunction(); // The Function

$MyObject->MyFunction(); // Will execute the function MyFunction within the object MyObject.
