Another silly question

[spyke01]

Looking to see why this would have been done

[code]
<?=@$amount?>
[/code]

i know its echoing, but why the @ before the variable, here the places that amount is $defined

[code]
$amount = $qr['amount'];
$amount = $amount * $_POST['no_credits'];
[/code]

The @ symbol supresses error messages. For example if $amount didn't exist you might get this error:
[b]Notice: Undefined variable: amount in [path to script] on line [line number here][/b]
When you use the @ symbol infront of the $amount variable, the error message will not be shown.

ahh ok cool, seen it with DB quieries, but never with echoes, thanks mate
