RE: [PHP] Re: suppressing errors with "@"

I use it in front of variables (never tried it on $GLOBALS, etc though) eg: (using register_globals = on thingo - hey don't blame me, it's the tech guys who have it on, and there's too much legacy code to turn it off :( - anyway) <? if (@$var) { echo "Yep, var is there"; } else { echo "nope"; } ?> -----Original Message----- From: Scott Fletcher [mailto:scott@abcoa.com] Sent: Saturday, July 06, 2002 7:32 AM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] Re: suppressing errors with "@" No, it's not a PHP bug. The "@" can not be used before a PHP variables, or PHP pre-defined variables like $GLOBALS, $_SESSION, $_GET, $HTTP_POST_VARS, etc. The "@" is used only before the PHP function as far as I know of.
