note 9965 added to die

Note that the "die" function doesn't just stop script execution - it stops parsing altogether, which means that any stuff after the point where you issue the "die" will be excluded ... if your script is putting something inside table fields, and </TD>, </TR> </TABLE> tags are not included in your output, then the less fault-tolerant browsers (like Netscape) will display nothing at all... http://www.php.net/manual/function.die.php
