Bug #18352 Updated: exit() always returns 255

ID: 18352 Updated by: alatham@flexsys-group.com Reported By: tom@scl.co.uk Status: Closed Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: linux 2.2.20 PHP Version: 4.2.1 New Comment: This is still a bug in the 4.2.2 release. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-15 09:46:37] edink@php.net The latest stable snapshot (4.2.2-dev) should be what you're looking for. It only contains bugfixes since the latest release (4.2.1). http://snaps.php.net/php4-STABLE-latest.tar.gz ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-15 09:42:12] tom@scl.co.uk First of all, I know that this is fixed in CVS with Zend 2, and I assume it is fixed on CVS php without Zend 2 BUT, we need a stable version with exit() working properly! So if someone can send a patch or something that would be good enough. Here's the problem In the manual it says that if you hand exit() an integer the script will return that value as the exit code and if you hand exit() a string it will print the string (to stderr I think) then exit. When you exit with a string there is no problem and the return code is 255, but when you exit with a number the return code is still 255. Code to demonstrate the bug: <?php exit(5); ?> This used to work in a version before 4.2.1 (not too sure which) but not it seems to have be broken for 4.2.1 Thanks ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=18352&edit=1
