@header

[teguh123]

Guys,

In wordpress I saw several command

@header ('bla bla')

Why @header?

Why not just header?

For example:

if ( version_compare(phpversion(), '4.3.0', '>=') )
	@header("HTTP/1.1 $header $text", true, $header);
else
	@header("HTTP/1.1 $header $text");

Why @header?

Why not just header?

The @ suppresses error reporting from the following command. Looks to me like a bit of lazy coding instead of more robust coding that would prevent errors in the first place, such as

if(!headers_sent())
{
   if ( version_compare(phpversion(), '4.3.0', '>=') )
      header("HTTP/1.1 $header $text", true, $header);
   else
      header("HTTP/1.1 $header $text");
}
else
{
   // possibly write message to error log here that headers were already sent
}

How did you make that nice code text again?

If by that you mean

It's explained in the FAQ.
