The @ suppresses any warning/error messages that are produced - hence the complaints when it's taken out :-) Cheers Jon -----Original Message----- From: Erols [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 31 August 2001 01:06 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] PHP Syntax question. Sorry for my ignorance. I just saw some PHP syntax that I am not aware of. Could someone please shed some light on this. What is the purpose of the @ in the following call to the PHP mail method? @mail( /* some parameters */ ); If I remove the @, then php compiler complains. Thank you in advance. ********************************************************************** 'The information included in this Email is of a confidential nature and is intended only for the addressee.
