Good Morning, I was having a discussion with a fellow PHP Developer this morning and he mentioned that he put's an '@' sign in front of all function calls, and every time he accesses an array; I know that this is sloppy, and dangerous, but I don't know exactly what this exposes him to, can any one give me any real world examples of why this is bad, so I can relate it to his code? php.net does not have much information about this. It seems like suppressing errors, rather then catching them is problematic. Thanks Again. Justin.
This is a Bad Idea. A Very Bad Idea actually. If he's just looking to hide error output, he should at least edit php.ini to log to an error file. Otherwise, debugging his code would be horrible. The "@" is total slop.
