Re: [PHP-DEV] PHP 4.0 Bug #8294 Updated: Documented behavior of @ operator does not match actual behavior From: Zak Greant (zak <email protected>)
Date: 12/16/00

I did not state that the behavior of the operator was was a problem. :)
I stated that the documentation does not match how the operator behaves. I
also noted that I thought that the current behavior made sense...

Is this not clear?

is no way to induce a parse error at runtime. Parse errors in the code that
makes up the arguments for eval() and create_function() are caught and
handled differently then normal parse errors (at least AFAICT they are - @
suppresses the errors generated in this fashion).

is probably the least of your worries. :)
