PHP supports one error control operator: the at sign (@). When prepended to an expression in PHP, any error messages that might be generated by that expression will be ignored.

Please refer http://php.net/manual/en/language.operators.errorcontrol.php

@$_REQUEST[] - using @(error control operator) to hide errors

$_REQUEST[] - HTTP Request variables
