  In PHP, what does the @ symbol mean in the comments coding – e.g.
  /**
  * Store XML responses to send.
  *
  * @since 2.1.0
  * @var array
  * @access private
  */

  Thank you.

  Hi guijarro111,

  If you’re looking for PHP coding help, you may wish to check out Stack Overflow, or if it’s WordPress.org related, the WordPress.org support forums.

  These forums are focused on helping users with their WordPress.com blogs.

  For the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org, you may wish to read the support article here:
