RE: [PHP] @ Scope

It will escape the error ... or better say you force the function to always return true. Very useful if you don't really care whether you succeed or not. Like during user tracking, you don't want to exit the script only because something went wrong while you were curious where did he come from, am I right ? so you use : $where = @where($user); this will always return true no matter what happen Cheers, Maxim Maletsky -----Original Message----- From: Karl J.
