X-Cart forums

Hi All,

I have been scouring the web for reasons why some functions in x-cart are called within PHP by a preceeding @. i.e.

#
# Include webmaster mode
#
if (!@include_once("../include/webmaster.php"))
	@include_once("./include/webmaster.php");

Does anyone know the reason for this and its significance within PHP.

Phil.

it just tells php to ignore an error if it encounters one so that it is not displayed on the screen.

The bit of script that you highlighted simply says fint that file at one location - if you cant, dont tell me, just find it in the other place

Thanks mate,

Thats interesting. I can think of a number of web apps that could use that syntax. Another thing to add to the brain cells lol.
