I can't remember every single war there has been on php-dev.. :-p Like Jason put it, two GOOD solutions (others are just denying the fact that someone fucked this up when it was implemented): 1. Overload it. 2. Separate die() and exit(). Zeev, are you really using exit() to output integers? What kind of script is it? (just curious) Maybe we should ask on php-general sometimes when we get into discussion whether people rely on something or not? :) Or put up some kind of voting thing on php.net which can be used to find out what the people 'out there' think ? --Jani

My vote wouldn't count, but I vote +1 :) Converting scripts are really simple, since users can replace exit() with paramters to die(). I remeber previous discussion, but I feel functions like exit_shell() is strange... -- Yasuo Ohgaki
