When they're needed, use a helper like from my third-party library <https://github.com/haldayne/fox/blob/master/src/CaptureErrors.php> to capture them: use Haldayne\Fox\CaptureErrors; $copy = new CaptureErrors(function ($a, $b) { return copy($a, $b); }); $okay = $copy('foo.txt', 'bar.txt'); if (! $okay) { throw new RuntimeException($copy->getCapturedErrors()->pop()->get('message')); } I am -1 on removing @ for 7.x series. But, I would be in favor of all changes that remove unnecessary error messages or add functionality to better work with error messages. In my mind, those are requisite steps before removing @.
