Stop a script.

[Anon]

How can I stop a script executing in PHP?

I want to call an error function and have it just STOP there and not carry on.

You're looking for 'die()' or 'exit()':

<?php
if ($@!#$_happens="TRUE")
{error_function(); die;}
else {proceed();}
?>

OR:

<?php
if ($@!#$_happens="TRUE")
{die(error_function());}
else {proceed();}
?>

OR:

<?php
if ($@!#$_happens="TRUE")
{error_function(); exit;}
else {proceed();}
?>

OR:
<?php
error_function()

{print "tough luck!"; exit;}
if ($@!#$_happens="TRUE")
{error_function();}
else {proceed();}
?>

Read the manual.

    Eh, I didn't know that was parental control in this forum. I made a foul-mouthed joke in my previous posting and it was published truncated. Here is a "clean" version:

You're looking for 'die()' or 'exit()':

<?php
if ($worse_happens="TRUE")
{error_function(); die;}
else {proceed();}
?>

OR:

<?php
if ($worse_happens="TRUE")
{die(error_function());}
else {proceed();}
?>

OR:

<?php
if ($worse_happens="TRUE")
{error_function(); exit;}
else {proceed();}

OR:
<?php
