What does @ character in PHP exactly do?

Question

for example in strip_tags you can use like this:

string strip_tags ( string $str [, string $allowable_tags ] )

but I wondering if it could be use like this:

@strip_tags

and What's the difference?. Thanks

It resets the error_reporting level for the following expression. (The *default* error handler then omits the output. Logging or custom handlers may not.) — mario, Mar 19 '15 at 18:39
