Opérateurs de comparaison
Be aware of using error control operator in statements before include() like this:
<?PHP
(@include("file.php"))
OR die("Could not find file.php!");
?>
This cause, that error reporting level is set to zero also for the included file. So if there are some errors in the included file, they will be not displayed.
Opérateur de contrôle d'erreur
PHP supporte un opérateur de contrôle d'erreur : c'est @. Lorsque cet opérateur est ajouté en préfixe d'une expression PHP, les messages d'erreur qui peuvent être générés par cette expression seront ignorés.
Si l'option track_errors est activée, les messages d'erreurs générés par une expression seront sauvés dans la variable globale $php_errormsg. Cette variable sera écrasée à chaque erreur. Il faut alors la surveiller souvent pour pouvoir l'utiliser.
<?php
/* Erreur intentionnelle (le fichier n'existe pas): */
$mon_fichier = @file ('non_persistent_file') or
die ("Impossible d'ouvrir le fichier : L'erreur est : '$php_errormsg'");
// Cela fonctionne avec n'importe quelle expression, pas seulement les fonctions
$value = @$cache[$key];
// la ligne ci-dessus n'affichera pas d'alerte si la clé $key du tableau n'existe pas
?>
Note: L'opérateur @ ne fonctionne qu'avec les expressions. La règle générale de fonctionnement est la suivante : si vous pouvez prendre la valeur de quelque chose, vous pouvez le préfixer avec @. Par exemple, vous pouvez ajouter @ aux variables, fonctions, à include(), aux constantes, etc. Vous ne pourrez pas le faire avec des éléments de langage tels que les classes, if et foreach, etc.
Voir aussi error_reporting() et la section sur la gestion d'erreurs.
Avertissement
En fait, l'opérateur "@" va aussi désactiver les rapports d'erreurs critiques, qui stoppent l'exécution du script. Entre autres, si vous utilisez "@" pour supprimer les erreurs de certaines fonctions, et que cette fonction n'existe pas, ou qu'elle a été mal orthographiée, vous n'aurez aucune indication.

Though error suppression can be dangerous at times, it can be useful as well. I've found the following statements roughly equivalent:
if( isset( $var ) && $var === $something )
if( @$var === $something )
EXCEPT when you're comparing against a boolean value (when $something is false). In that case, if it's not set the conditional will still be triggered.
I've found this useful when I want to check a value that might not exist:
if( @$_SERVER[ 'HTTP_REFERER' ] !== '/www/some/path/file' )
or when we want to see if a checkbox / radio button have been submitted with a post action
if( @$_POST[ 'checkbox' ] === 'yes' )
Just letting you guys know my findings, :)

Error suppression should be avoided if possible as it doesn't just suppress the error that you are trying to stop, but will also suppress errors that you didn't predict would ever occur. This will make debugging a nightmare.
It is far better to test for the condition that you know will cause an error before preceding to run the code. This way only the error that you know about will be suppressed and not all future errors associated with that piece of code.
There may be a good reason for using outright error suppression in favor of the method I have suggested, however in the many years I've spent programming web apps I've yet to come across a situation where it was a good solution. The examples given on this manual page are certainly not situations where the error control operator should be used.

I was confused as to what the @ symbol actually does, and after a few experiments have concluded the following:
* the error handler that is set gets called regardless of what level the error reporting is set on, or whether the statement is preceeded with @
* it is up to the error handler to impart some meaning on the different error levels. You could make your custom error handler echo all errors, even if error reporting is set to NONE.
* so what does the @ operator do? It temporarily sets the error reporting level to 0 for that line. If that line triggers an error, the error handler will still be called, but it will be called with an error level of 0
Hope this helps someone

NB The @ operator doesn't work when throwing errors as exceptions using the ErrorException class

If you want to log all the error messages for a php script from a session you can use something like this:
<?php
session_start();
function error($error, $return=FALSE) {
global $php_errormsg;
if(isset($_SESSION['php_errors'])) {
$_SESSION['php_errors'] = array();
}
$_SESSION['php_errors'][] = $error; // Maybe use $php_errormsg
if($return == TRUE) {
$message = "";
foreach($_SESSION['php_errors'] as $php_error) {
$messages .= $php_error."\n";
}
return $messages; // Or you can use use $_SESSION['php_errors']
}
}
?>
Hope this helps someone...

error_reporting()==0 for detecting the @ error suppression assumes that you did not set the error level to 0 in the first place.
However, typically if you want to set your own error handler, you would set the error_reporting to 0. Therefore, an alternative to detect the @ error suppression is required.

To suppress errors for a new class/object:
<?php
// Tested: PHP 5.1.2 ~ 2006-10-13
// Typical Example
$var = @some_function();
// Class/Object Example
$var = @new some_class();
// Does NOT Work!
//$var = new @some_class(); // syntax error
?>
I found this most useful when connecting to a
database, where i wanted to control the errors
and warnings displayed to the client, while still
using the class style of access.

If you wish to display some text when an error occurs, echo doesn't work. Use print instead. This is explained on the following link 'What is the difference between echo and print?':
http://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/view.phtml/aid/1/fid/40
It says "print can be used as part of a more complex expression where echo cannot".
Also, you can add multiple code to the result when an error occurs by separating each line with "and". Here is an example:
<?php
$my_file = @file ('non_existent_file') or print 'File not found.' and $string = ' Honest!' and print $string and $fp = fopen ('error_log.txt', 'wb+') and fwrite($fp, $string) and fclose($fp);
?>
A shame you can't use curly brackets above to enclose multiple lines of code, like you can with an if statement or a loop. It could make for a single long line of code. You could always call a function instead.

Better use the function trigger_error() (http://de.php.net/manual/en/function.trigger-error.php)
to display defined notices, warnings and errors than check the error level your self. this lets you write messages to logfiles if defined in the php.ini, output
messages in dependency to the error_reporting() level and suppress output using the @-sign.
