What are you trying to reach with this?

IMO, it should silently ignore any @. Simply saying this is a parse error is a bit rude, IMO. 
It would be even more nice if it gives a nice E_NOTICE message too (@ can't be used on reference assignments or something similar).

Thanks for the quick reply!

Err... suppress the warning that would otherwise arise ($a = &$b; when error_reporting=E_ALL)

I thought @ was there to shut up E_NOTICE :D

Ooops, poor me, $a = &$b; does not give any warnings. Sorry.
