Re: exit in class constructor crashes

Last night, I posted an answer for ways to exit() from a constructor function. Since then I've come up with the solution. Earlier, Dennis asked a general question about the ability to use "return" to break out of a function. I thought about it's use for my needs. But, I overlooked it initially, because the exit() I'm issuing comes in a sub-function called by the constructor function. Further thought led me to the idea to have the sub-function return some value, which I'll evaluate in the constructor function. If the value indicates a problem in the sub-function, I'll then call call a "return" in the constructor function. Ding! Far more elegant than my initial answer... <?php class ConstructorExit { function ConstructorExit() { echo "Welcome to the Constructor Exit Test."; if ( $this->SomeSubFunction() ) { # Sub function says there's a problem. return; } echo "<br>I don't want this to be seen."; }# End of function ConstructorExit function SomeSubFunction() { echo "<br>Well, you're now in the sub-function."; return 1; echo "If you see this, the sub-function didn't return."; }# End of SomeSubFunction }# End of class ConstructorExit $Post = new ConstructorExit; ?> Wee haw! --Dan -- T H E A N A L Y S I S A N D S O L U T I O N S C O M P A N Y More than just answers.
