note 24201 added to function.exit

return may be preferable to exit in certain situations, especially when dealing with the PHP binary and the shell. I have a script which is the recipient of a mail alias, i.e. mail sent to that alias is piped to the script instead of being delivered to a mailbox. Using exit in this script resulted in the sender of the email getting a delivery failure notice. This was not the desired behavior, I wanted to silently discard messages which did not satisfy the script's requirements. After several hours of trying to figure out what integer value I should pass to exit() to satisfy sendmail, I tried using return instead of exit. Worked like a charm. Sendmail didn't like exit but it was perfectly happy with return. So, if you're running into trouble with exit and other system binaries, try using return instead. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.exit.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+24201 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+24201 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+24201
