Die() and Return()

[waiwai933]

Hi. I'm new to PHP, so I'm sorry if this question is really stupid. What i have is

<?php
PHP HERE
if((mysql_result($check, 0, 0)) == 1) 
		{
		echo("This account username already exists. Please try again and try again with a different username. Thank you.");
}
return()
MORE PHP
?>
HTML HERE
<? include"footer.php" ?>
		

How do I get it so that I still get the include footer even if the PHP script executes the return or a die?

I'd say that the answer to have more graceful error handling. Instead of just exiting the script immediately, structure your code such that a user-friendly error message is generated.

Or you could use else

<?php
PHP HERE
if((mysql_result($check, 0, 0)) == 1)
        {
        echo("This account username already exists. Please try again and try again with a different username. Thank you.");
} else {
MORE PHP
?>
HTML HERE
<? } ?>
<? include"footer.php" ?>
