exit(); problems

[ab4net]

hi all,
hope you can help me find a solution ...
am creating a website, its a PHP and HTML in each page, lot of designs and tables.
some times in my program i have to stop the program, because of a reason (some times because the user is not registered, or some behaviour he did, or some missing informations...etc) any how ... when i want to STOP the program am using the:
exit();
but now am facing a problem, it STOPs all the page from continue loading,
so the tables are broken and design is corrupted ...

i know there is a way of including the rest of page design in ELSE clause but some times i cant use the ELSE because of the infrastructure of the pages. and the includes of scripts in this page.

am wondering is there a way to exit or stop the PHP code and continue the HTML in the same page?

please help, and many thanks in advance ...

No, you will have to restructure your script logic. One alternative to if/else conditions would be to put the end-of-page output into a function. Then you can call that function as needed to generate the end of the page:

<?php
function end_of_page()
{
?>
<p>The End</p>
</body>
</html>
<?php
}
// start of page here...
// do stuff, then...
if($something_is_wrong)
{
   end_of_page();
   exit;
}
// more processing here if nothing is wrong...
// then...
end_of_page();
?>
