Re: [fw-general] Questionable use of '@' error suppression on preg_match()

[Stefan Koopmanschap]

Should that not be prevented with an is_array() check instead of using an @? Using the @ sounds quite dirty to me. ;)

AFAICR this was done because Zend_Input_ has the potential to operate on multidimensional arrays - this is a simple (but not very graceful) way of handling instances where the value is an array rather than a string value.

@ should be avoided unless there is clearly a very good reason. Otherwise we'll not receive those informative errors, and be waylaid in a debugger trying to figure it out. Using @ with preg_* seems odd. Suppression of missing param errors for some reason, maybe?
