die()

P.S. (placed intentionally on top) I just recognized, that my suggestion is not worth a penny for the *english* documentation. I usually use the german one - where my problem is not mentioned. Could you please inform the team of the german translators about this issue? Or - if you preferr - tell me a mail address of them and I'll do (or even better: publish the list address of a localisation team with that locale documentation..). Thanks! Hi List, please don't misunderstand the subject - I just want to referr to a function and not to harm your health ;-) While trying to add a comment to the documentation on php.net it said:

If you are just commenting on the fact that something is not documented, save your breath. This is where you add to the documentation, not where you ask us to add the documentation. You may choose to email the PHP Documentation Team to discuss the change.

So here we go: The function die() expects a string as parameter. Other functions that expect a string, but are provided with a integer, will cast that int to string. die() doesn't output anything and terminates the php script. I could verify this on two machines: Intel Celeron running SuSE Linux 8.2, Kernel 2.4.20-4GB as provided by SuSE Apache/1.3.27 as provided by SuSE PHP/4.3.1 as provided by SuSE and Intel Pentium M (Centrino) running SuSE Linux 9.0 jailed in a VMWARE box on Windows XP ;-) Kernel 2.4.21-99-default as provided by SuSE Apache/1.3.28 as provided by SuSE PHP/5.0.0b3 compiled with gcc version 3.3.1 Futher information provided on request. Hope you can add this to the docs, because it took me quite a minute to figure out this behavior. Regards,
