Help... overriding default die / exit functions

[bsuresh_rjy]

how to override the default die / exit functions so that before the actual php script exits, my custom script needs to be executed and then the script needs to die... Please help me out dudes....! 😕

write your own exit fucntion:

fucntion my_special_exit()
{
	// do whatever you want to do before calling exit here
	exit();
}

ThanQ for the reply.... but there are lot many exit statements written in my project and I, couldnot change all the scripts by opening each and every script.... I am just looking out if there is any method that can call my exit function, instead of the php default exit function.......

most decent text editors have multi-file search/replace fucntions.

but there are around 300 files on my linux server... and I, don`t have permissions to all those files... its impossible for any ide to replace the files without permissions.... And I dont want to disturb the existing scripts..... I would like to know if there is any way of overriding the default die/exit functions.......

You cant override die or exit since they are language constructs, not member functions of a parent class.

Still, how is it that you do not have full control over your project's files? Can you not collaborate with other contributors to make the change?

If you have access to PHP itself, you might be able to modify and re-compile PHP so that die and exit work the way you want, but that's really bad form, if you have the skills to do it.
