This behavior contradicts a statement made by manual about @ operator: "When prepended to an expression in PHP, any error messages that might be generated by that expression will be ignored." I would expect error messages to be ignored throughout an entire scope of the @ operator regardless of operations performed there. The following example is quite artificial, however there may be situations one would like to have a function changing various configuration options including error reporting level. When he or she also wants to disable all warnings made by this function (or some of its caller) a problem arises. Reproduce code: --------------- <? function f() { var_dump(error_reporting(E_ALL)); var_dump(error_reporting()); array_fill(-1,-1,-1); // deliberately invalid arguments @f(); var_dump(error_reporting()); ?> Expected result: ---------------- int(0) int(0) int(2047) Actual result: -------------- int(0) int(2047) Warning: array_fill(): Number of elements must be positive in ... int(2047) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=34761&edit=1
