warnings

[jagguy]

1)I am gettin some warnings I want to supress, eg I am going through a dir and deleting files and the file '.' and '..' comes up with warnings when trying to delete.

What is @ and & in regards to error supression.

2)Also when using include statement I sometime sget an error with header files as it thinks this echos to the screen and fails. When i get rid of includes statement it works fine. Can I suppress this statements like with 'warnings'?

Huh?

What does your include statement look like?

Does the file exist?

Codes would help

[emehrkay]

just put the @ in front of a piece of code that would give you a warning. i wouldnt do it, but it is there for you to use

Whenever I process directories I always test for . and .. and simply continue; past them. They will always generate errors so it's best get warned when you need to and prevent the ones you know will always give errors.

i include this
include("dbconnect.php");

-- the file below
<?php

error_reporting(E_ALL);
    // some basic sanity checks

        //connect to the db
        $link = mysql_connect("localhost", "jagguy_root", "")or die("Could not connect: " . mysql_error());
        // select our database
        mysql_select_db("jagguy_formdata") or die(mysql_error());
?>

ps what does the & symbol do again?

You should never use the @ sign its best to avoid errors than silence them.

Jagguy:: the & symbol is a bitwise operator.

I think he means &$value usage. The & in this case means to pass a value by reference, not by value.

Typically used in a functions declaration.
