Placing the @ infront of it will stop the default error message showing the file route details. And allow you to display your own custom message.

example

$error = "<html><head><title>Error</title>
			   <style>P,BODY{ font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; }</style></head><body>
			   &nbsp;<br><br><blockquote><b>There appears to be an error with the database.</b><br>

			   You can try to refresh the page by clicking <a href=\"java script:window.location=window.location;\">here</a>.<br></body></html>"; 

@mysql_connect(HOST, USER, PASS) or die($error);
@mysql_select_db(DATA) or die($error);

So if there is no connection, rather than tell the public what the error is, on what line of which ever file it will display "There appears to be an error with the database. You can try to refresh the page by clicking here"
