Actually, the manual explicitly documents the @ operator as being
valid in front of any EXPRESSION.
It goes on to say that if you can get the value of something, you can
use @ on it.
The assignment operator returns a value.
It is an expression.
@$conn = pg_connect($conn_string);
is therefore a documented feature.
Using @ as a long-term solution is stll morally wrong, of course. :-)
Ok, you're right, both are valid. But i think it's better to use it
before the function name. (like all examples in the manual do ).
Else you might end up with code like this:
my_function(@$var);
Which will result in a parse error...
