If you want to issue die on a file that is inside an include, it will keep everything else from running through and finishing.

You can prevent this by using return;. It ends the current file but lets the others keep going.

Using return instead of exit is to prefer when you want the script that you have included inside another script to die but continue to execute the main script.

A useful way of preventing this is to wrap the die function :



<?php

function die_script($errmsg)

{

 print $errmsg . "</body></html>";

 die;

}

?>

die(__LINE__); won't say the line number because die() wants a string. do die(''.__LINE__); or die(__FUNCTION__ . ':' . __LINE);

To get a perl-like die you can/should append this snipped

 . " File: " . __FILE__ . " on line: " . __LINE__

e.g.

die ("Error" . " File: " . __FILE__ . " on line: " . __LINE__);

Note that using the die() function will stop the entire script after that point from being run, so if you issue the die function within a open HTML tag, the HTML tag will remain open, which can seriously effect the browsers output to the user, expecially if its used inside an open <TABLE> tag.
