Several scripts that I've looked at have lines that begin wit hthe '@' character and then are followed by an assignment statement. For example:
@ $ftstr = 'bob';
What is the function of the 'at' character?
Thanks in advance.
Search before you post.
the @ sign supresses error messages.
Do not ever use it unless you know what you're doing. This is the way to make your script completely un-debuggable.
you can always set ERROR_REPORTING to 0 to turn off all error reporting for production code.... obviously you should have this tested thoroughly first tho'
