If you have another reliable way of catching the same errors, then it's fine. miguel -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Re: error-catching
You can write your own error handlers using set_error_handler(). Then,
depending on the error code, you can decide whether you should display the
error message, email it to you, log it, whatever.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.set-error-handler.php
If you just want to hide the error message, there's nothing wrong with using
@.
