'@' symbol in front of mysql commands...Why?
Posted: Fri Jul 08, 2005 4:31 pm
I'm having some bug problems in my first php script. It's several thousand lines long, so I'll spare the copy and paste. I think I have traced some of my issues to not having the "@" symbol in front of some mysql calls, such as the following:
@mysql_query($sql, $conn);
and so on and so on.
My question is to the very nature of this lingo. What does the '@' symbol do? Is it always necessary? If not, then when is it needed? I look forward to hearing an answer to this evasive topic (you can't search for the "@" symbol on google. So it's evasive!).
