Using @ is good practice in any case where you simply *don't care*
whether you had an error or not. So if your scripts don't need a value
stored in $first or in $second, then you can use the @ operator. But
don't use @ in any case where you need to trap for errors (e.g.
validating input from $_GET / $_POST).
