Be aware that die("something") and exit("something") causes an exit status of 0 (zero), which is very relevant if you're writing CLI scripts. I, for once, made a mistake in an authorization php script whose exit status determines if a user is allowed or not, and it contained - among other things - a die('sql server error'). This caused an exit status of 0 = user was allowed. I think, at the very least, this behavior should be explicitly documented. ---- Server IP: 213.249.64.162 Probable Submitter: 193.172.134.195 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.exit.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/98124 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98124/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98124/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98124/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98124/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98124/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98124/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98124 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/98124 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
