It's used to eliminate error messages generated by an expression.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.errorcontrol.php

Example:

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', '1');

unset($bar, $q);

$foo = $bar; // use of uninitialized variable ($bar)
$bar = @ $q; // error message suppressed
?>
