I try not to use it much, but when I do I back it up with checking to see if an error really occured. I use it for file handles, database handles, stuff that I really expect to break sometimes. I don't ever use it to assist with sloppy coding style, not defining variables and such. In fact I always code with error_reporting( E_ALL ) until I take the code into production. > For example, I > have an array of unknown length $array. > Is it all right write something like this: > > @list($first, $second) = $array; I go with $array[0], $array[1] and such.
