Hi krishna5,

The @ symbol is used to suppress error messages.

It sounds like you haven't installed the GD functions. If you view phpinfo(), what does the page say under the GD heading?

Hi krishna,

php 3 types of error is there.

1.Normal error
2.Warning error
3.Fatal Error.

the function before @ is used avoid to show error message in waring errors...
