Ending Execution

Crysma

Is there a way that I can get it to skip the rest of the code if a certain condition is true?

Thank you in advance for your help,

Crysma 🙂

Just use an if statement.

if($this == "true") {
    // do all this
}
else {
    // don't
}

Like this---this is just an example---apply it to your specific case. If you're unclear on anything, visit www.php.net

<?php
//Create a random number (not necessarily in your script)
$random_number = rand(0,1);
if ($random_number==0) {
//die ends the script and outputs a message.
    die ("Terminate the script: the random number was zero.");
} else {
echo "Your number was 1."
//Code in here---execute whatever code you want.
}
?>

I didn't say if you're stupid I said if I'm stupid.

I try to use funny things in there because I am so sick of the contrived examples in textbooks, people really shouldn't take my variables and things like that as an inslult they are not intended that way.

drawmack

it's alright Lord I understand the mistake. Just explaining that I do it purly for levity and do not point them at anyone.
