HELP

Hi,
I am new to PHP and have found in many scripts on the net that people
use @ as a prefix to inbuilt function.
For e.g:


$conn = @imap_open("\{$server/pop3}INBOX", $user, $pass);
i cant figure out this.Please help me understand this.

Hi

The @ suppresses errors.
SO in your case: if @imap_open("\{$server/pop3}INBOX", $user, $pass); is not
working for some reason, PHP will ignore it and NOT print an errormessage
or warning.

@ suppresses error and warning messages.

Happens to me too.
Sometimes somebody posted a answers an hour before I answer, and I see it
afterwards.
Maybe something with relaying messages all over the world to newsservers?
I don't know.

At the bright side: If 2 people give the same suggestion/answer chances are
the answer it is probably ok. :-)
