@ in variable

[mga_ka_php]

what do you mean if you have @ in your variable? ex @$var1

@ is used to supress errors if they generate.  It is not good coding practice.

I disagree to a point. In most terms, yes, it isn't the best thing to do, but in some cases, it is good. For example, I write my own error handling stuff, so I often use @ when I use mysql_connect, since if there is an error, it is handled.

The & in front of variables simply means it is referencing that variable. So if the original variable changes, the new variable will also change. Example:

 

$foo = "bar";
$new = &$foo;

echo $new; //Will echo out bar.

$foo = "foo";

echo $new; //Will echo out foo.
