PHP Operator: The "@" sign

Let's talk about this php operator and how to use it on your script
okay, the at sign (@) is a special php operator which can be used to supress or "hide" the error
that might occur on your script.

this is quite useful on PHP DOM, File Processing,,etc..

okay i will show you an example.

<?php
 // missing or destroyed file
 @readfile("file.php");
?>

take a look at it ^
The @ sign was appended before the readfile function. try to remove it and see what's the result.

The output might be like this warning:

Warning: readfile(file.php) [function.readfile]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/unggoy_ang_nagbabasa/public_html/test.php on line 2


But if you append it on function, the error(s) will be ignored.
Use this operator if necessary.
