note 40334 added to language.operators.errorcontrol

taking the value of a non existant element: $foo = @$array['not_here'] will work as described, setting $foo to NULL, but taking a *reference* to a non-existant element: $foo =& @$array['not_here'] will create the element with a NULL value, which $foo will then referece. -- code till dawn, mark meves ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.errorcontrol.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+40334 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+40334&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+40334&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
