Re: Question: Should exit() print out the integer exit-status?

exit_with_status(), silent_exit(), quiet_exit(), etc. etc. Something should fit :) At 14:49 19/12/2001, Lars Torben Wilson wrote:

Two ways to fix it then, either update the manual, or fix exit(). I go for the last one then. Ppl who relied on the undocumented feature then, did simply the wrong thing.

Only the documentation was wrong to begin with! A documentation bug should not become a feature, especially when it never worked that way, so anybody who actually used this function saw that it was behaving differently. Zeev Well, from another point of view, both were wrong. :) The manual documented behaviour which didn't exist, so it was wrong. In another sense, the code behaved in a fashion which had a very high WTF factor, so it couild be called 'wrong' too. An easy way to set and check the exit status of a PHP script would make a lot of life a hell of a lot easier. -- Torben Wilson <torben@php.net> http://www.thebuttlesschaps.com http://www.hybrid17.com http://www.inflatableeye.com +1.604.709.0506
