quick question about variables 1

[PaulFynch]

sometimes in used scripts i see the @ before a variable name...eg


if (@$auth != "yes&quot


what does the @ do?
thx

The @-symbol is PHP's error control operator.

thanx sleipnir;
another quick question as i am still very new to php, and the documentation is somewhat kryptic to us newbies....

what does the arrow do in between tpl and assign?

$guestbook_view_tpl->assign("name", "$show_message[name]"
$guestbook_view_tpl->assign("email", "$show_message"
[/color]
i imagine it is some kind of array deal but i dont get it...
thankx again
paul

Not an array. An object.
