Help me on source code in includes/functions/session.php

[unstableyeah]

Hi, All

 

I am using oscommerce-2.2rc2a, installation is done, and it is running well, but when I look at the source code in includes/functions/session.php, I found code like below:

 

if ( (PHP_VERSION >= 4.3) && ((bool)ini_get('register_globals') == false) ) {

@ini_set('session.bug_compat_42', 1);

@ini_set('session.bug_compat_warn', 0);

}

 

My question is What does the "@" ahead of ini_set do?

 

Best regards!

I googled the answer, @ is used to prevent error showing up.
