[Resolved] Break out of script

Ice725

I was wondering if there was a way to break out of a script, without using the exit statement?

Say I have numerous chunks of HTML and PHP on my page. On my first php script, id like to break out of it if a condition is true, but I still want to execute the HTML and PHP scripts below. If I use the exit statement, I am not able to execute anything else. So is there a way to go about this?

You use the word [man]break[/man] enough.....

I tried that and got the following error message:

Fatal error: Cannot break/continue 1 level

Well, let's see the code. It may be easier than you're making it out to be...

I know this isn't the best way to do this, but this is kinda what I'm shooting for... I want to execute some php code, then break out of it, but still show following HTML and another script

<body>
<?
	$number = 9;

if ($number == 1)
	echo "ONE";
else
	break;

for ($x = 1; $x < 5; $x++)
	echo $x;
?>

This should be visible

<?
	echo "and so should this...";
?>
</body>
</html>

So with this code, and not changing the if statement structure, how can I code it to show

This should be visible
And so should this

LordShryku

That code doesn't really make sense. But disregarding the loop, you really just don't need an else statement.

<body>
<?php
$number = 9;
if($number == 1) {
   echo "ONE";
}
?>
This should be visible
<?php
echo "and so should this...";
?>
</body>
</html>

OK, let me explain my problem in detail.

If have a template, which contains several embedded tables. When I start my script, I test to see if $_SESSION['admin'] is logged in. If NO, I do not want to run the script anymore, and continue with the HTML tables etc.

if(!isset($_SESSION['admin']))
{
     echo "You're not an admin";
     exit;
}

My problem is, after I type exit, no code is executed after that, so my tables and HTML, which is needed, is not compiled by the browser. So now my webpage looks half-complete (because the user was not logged in, my page is half missing.)

Ive been using nested loops to get by this, but it gets somewhat complicated.

if(!isset($_SESSION['admin']))
{
     echo "You're not an admin";
     exit;
}
else if
{

}
else if
{

}
else

I'd like my code to be clearly readable. So to reiterate my question, is there a word I can use besides 'exit' to stop my script, but not the HTML below it?

Well, you don't need to. The way the if/elseif/else or switch statement works is procedural. So the first thaing that matches, it uses. So if you structure your statements right, you shouldn't need to break.
