I'm wondering why sometimes an '@' is used before require and include statements. When would you use '@include_once', and when just 'include_once'? What's it do? What's da difference?

Thanx,

It turns off error messages associated with the include.

It's really only useful if you can't, for some reason, turn of display_errors. But even if your host has that on by default, you can override it in php-Nuke. If I remember correctly, it's overridden in config.php (or, if you're using RavenNuke, rnconfig.php).

It is definitely in config.php and is this line here:

$display_errors = FALSE;

It works much better in RavenNuke(tm) 2.10.x though... Wink

rnconfig.php allows you to control just what level of reporting that you want to see. It defaults to this:

$error_reporting = E_ALL^E_NOTICE;

Which essentially will only show you the fatal run-time errors. There are instructions in the RN file showing how to adjust that if you need to see more than that.
