Probably

Funny.. 
Not really, considering those kinds of notices are what can prevent some 
hour-long headscratching trying to figure out why a piece of code isn't 
working when $name was typed as $names.

 Hi all: 
 
 I have been searching through several books to find out what the @ 
 character represents. 
 
 An example used in code: 
 
 if (@$first == no). 
 
 Could anyone please explain the function of @ in the code? 
 
 Thanks
