Note Submitter: sdavey at datalink dot net dot au ---- To suppress error warnings for functions that use the error operator '@' in your own error handlers, I found a sentence on the set_error_handler() page that explains it: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.set-error-handler.php To paraphrase, it says that PHP temporarily sets the value of error_reporting() to 0 when in the error handler. So, if you have the following: $fp = @fopen("non-existent-file", "r"); when your custom error handler function is called, you can check the value of error_reporting() like this: function handler($type, $str, $file, $line, $info) { // don't respond to the error if it // was suppressed with a '@' if (error_reporting() == 0) return; // otherwise, handle the error ... }
