@NogDogOct 17.2006 — #It suppresses the automatic error reporting that will be done by that function if it should generate a run-time error. You should only do this if your code checks the return value and does some sort of error-handling if it fails; otherwise you may end up spending an unnecessary amount of time tracking down a bug there. For instance:
[RESOLVED] What Does "@" Do In @mysql_query()?
I was reading through some code a contract programmer wrote for me and I came across this…
[code=php]$result = @mysql_query($query);
What does the “@” do?
Thanks
