<p>Found an image upload script on the net and I'm just modifying it to my needs. It contains lines like the one below that begins with an @ symbol. I'm more of a javascript/jQuery guy so can someone explain what this '@' syntax is all about please?</p>

<pre><code>@move_uploaded_file($_FILES[$fieldname]['tmp_name'], $uploadFilename)
    or error('receiving directory insuffiecient permission', $uploadForm);
</code></pre>

<p>Please note I'm not asking what the above lines do, just about the functionality of the @ symbol</p>
