RE: [PHP-WIN] What does an @ sign before a VARIABLE do?

Mike, If you have your error reporting set to ALL in php.ini, you will get warnings that variables aren't set. The @ before it will ignore the warnings. At least, this is one use of the @ before variables that I can think of...

Hey all, In the PHOBUILDER tutorial on sessions the sample code has a @ sign before some of the variable names.. like: if (@$userid && @$password) { $res = @mysql_query("SELECT userid FROM users WHERE userid='$userid' AND password='$password'"); if(@mysql_num_rows($res) != 0) { $verified_user = $userid; session_register("verified_user"); } } I've never seen that before and am curious what it does. I've seen it before function calls, but never before variables.
