Question

I’m interested in how could I create my own function allowing it to be executed without error logging, but only if executed with @ operator, like @function();?

Function:

public function query($sql, $id = false){
    $this->query_id = mysqli_query($this->connection, $sql);
    if(!$this->query_id){
        // I want to suppress this error call here...
        psyo::error("Error while executing query (sql: {$sql}).");
        return NULL;
    }else{
        $this->result = mysqli_store_result($this->connection);
        $this->affected = mysqli_affected_rows($this->connection);
        return $id ? $this->query_id : $this;
    }
}

P.S. I’m using my own error handling class, and it isn’t operated with error_log(); or so.

Thanks in advance!

The @ operator is just shorthand for the following:

$oldReportingLevel = error_reporting();
error_reporting(0);
 // execute @'d code here
error_reporting($oldReportingLevel);

In other words, @ temporarily sets the error reporting level to 0. While you can’t check whether or not the current error reporting level is due to an @ operator or not, you can check the current error reporting level, and bypass your own error handling if the level is 0.

What you probably want is this:

if (error_reporting() != 0) {
 psyo::error("Error while executing query (sql: {$sql}).");
}
