note 85042 added to language.operators.errorcontrol

I was confused as to what the @ symbol actually does, and after a few experiments have concluded the following: * the error handler that is set gets called regardless of what level the error reporting is set on, or whether the statement is preceeded with @ * it is up to the error handler to impart some meaning on the different error levels. You could make your custom error handler echo all errors, even if error reporting is set to NONE. * so what does the @ operator do? It temporarily sets the error reporting level to 0 for that line. If that line triggers an error, the error handler will still be called, but it will be called with an error level of 0 Hope this helps someone ---- Server IP: 87.124.64.96 Probable Submitter: 85.158.139.99 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.errorcontrol.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/85042 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85042/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85042/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85042/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85042/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85042/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85042/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85042 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/85042 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
