PHP中的@字符到底是做什么的? [重复]

This question already has an answer here:

for example in strip_tags you can use like this:

string strip_tags ( string $str [, string $allowable_tags ] )

but I wondering if it could be use like this:

@strip_tags

and What's the difference?. Thanks

It is an Error Control Operator.
