What is the diffrence between: @session_start(); and session_start();
when you write php. I have discovered that I sometimes need to use the @ in order to get it to work.

The @ surpresses error messages.

Thank you for the answer, I tried searching php.net but I couldn't find anything there guess I didn't really know what to look for either. Again thank you, my php knowledge is growing Very Happy

manum

@ will supress any error message generated by the function

u can even use it with other functions like echo...
