note 78569 deleted from language.operators.errorcontrol by tularis

Note Submitter: root at mantoru dot de ---- The @ operator can also be prepended to literals (like strings), as they're also statements -- it will suppress any notice about uninitialized variables. If you want to silence a more complex expression (@ is unary), use braces. <?php // variable interpolation $str = @"Then I said: '$maybeunset'."; // integer stuffs $result = @2 * 3 / 0; // = @(2) * 3 / 0 - WRONG (warning) $result = @(2 * 3 / 0); // RIGHT (no warning), $result is false ?> @John Chilton's post: As omelnyk said, isset is a language construct and NOT a function, and an @ token is not allowed there. @isset makes no sense, because under ANY circumstances isset stays quiet. Also, "using it with variables all the time" is a VERY bad idea, because it will make your code EXTREMELY slow. Crank your error_reporting down then.
