A:
PHP's error suppress operator used to suppress error messages.
SideNote: Avoid it as much as you can, also it slows down performance heavily and not allowed to be used in ini_get and ini_set functions in future php versions.

A:
"Swallow an error", continue despite an error occuring. An non-critical operation augmented with @ will not abort script execution.
