Re: using @ symbol
It's for error suppression.
Do a Google search for "PHP @ symbol" - you'll get all the info you need.

Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.
Re: using @ symbol
you can suppress the code generated errors with @symbol but it's recommended not to use it as error suppression with @ is very low.instead try correcting you code. you can use @ as the last option.
