Note Submitter: ---- Under jjuffermans' note, the editors posted the following: "Instead of using @ to suppress errors if the file does not exist you should do a conditional include: if (is_file("nosuchfile.php")) { include_once("nosuchfile.php"); }" This is rather obvious, but has an even more obvious problem: is_file doesn't check on the include_path, which one assumes include_once is highly likely to be using. While there are any number of kludgy workarounds which can be employed to overcome this problem, it's a structural problem in PHP and should be fixed. Preferably @ should only suppress a file not found error, but not any errors inside the included file if it is found, or failing that at the least is_file or file_exists should have the option to look on the include_path for the file.
