funny that, I usually use 'exit;' for a clean exit and 'die();' to signify a shitty exit ... although they are actually indentical functionally - just my idiosyncrasity ... that said I also so stuff like 'exit(1);' when I really want to offer a proper exit code. :-/

    While I'd be more inclined to believe that die() would be

considered more of a function (which is why I continue to write it with the attached parentheses) than a language construct (such as 'exit'), it appears to be nothing more than a matter of semantics in PHP.

I saw questioning whether die() was a really function or not, as metaphorical joke on the metaphysical. Maybe I'm just weird. Other discussion re: globals-on has me thinking about an element of coding on a client site I haven't reviewed lately, a move to OOP seems indicated. Is that the usual method to avoid that or is that just one of several methods? Ulex (channeling an English teacher who said "That that is that that that" was technically correct in English but she wouldn't explain it to the class at the time. It was high school, many years ago.)
