exit

(unknown)

exit -- Output a message and terminate the current script

Description

void exit ([string status])

void exit (int status)

Note: This is not a real function, but a language construct.

The exit() function terminates execution of the script. It prints status just before exiting.

If status is an integer, that value will also be used as the exit status.

Note: The current CVS version does NOT print the status if it is an integer.

Note: The die() function is an alias for exit().

Example 1. exit() example

<?php

$filename = '/path/to/data-file';
$file = fopen ($filename, 'r')
    or exit("unable to open file ($filename)");

?>
