What is the use of @ symbol in php?

I been working with PHP right now but a question pops in my mind what the @ sign means? I saw it always before method or functions calls. and I try to remove them there is no changes. Can anyone explain me what is the purpose of this @ sign??

Simply put, @ allows you to suppress any errors that arise from the call to a function.
