@mysql_free_result($result)

[Anon]

Hey, what does the @ mean in front of @mysql_free_result($result);

Thanks for any help...

The @ tells PHP to not display any error messages should an error happen with that function

Note: don't use the @ unless you know what you're doing.

Hiding errors this way means you will not see any errors even if your program is f*cking up bigtime. You will get no messages about what's going wrong at all.

@ = error surpression=bad idea in general = very bad idea in development stages, hope this helps 🙂
