It goes on to say that if you can get the value of something, you can use @ on it. The assignment operator returns a value. It is an expression. @$conn = pg_connect($conn_string); is therefore a documented feature. Using @ as a long-term solution is stll morally wrong, of course. :-)
Ok, you're right, both are valid. But i think it's better to use it before the function name. (like all examples in the manual do ). Else you might end up with code like this: my_function(@$var); Which will result in a parse error... Tijnema
