Derick ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-12-18 04:52:07] soletan@toxa.de Hi, I'm using PHP to write shell scripts that support HTML-embedded code. The latter one rely on a minimal output, for instance reading a configuration by calling a cmdline-script that simply returns the value to some key. exit() is very annoying because of putting out the exit state submitted as an integer to it. Either I have to do some tricks on shell script side or within my HTML-embedded stuff by removing that extra output. Anyway, it's something I shouldn't need to do if PHP wouldn't lack of some simple function doing the exit-job without some output and even without tricks included.
