die() and exit die() and exit

[yozloy]

if($apple)
{
echo 'problem!';
exit;
}

i

f($apple)
{
die('problem!');
}

Do the two excerpts mean the same?

Thanks

Effectively, yes. (Assuming we fix the typo error.)

The two commands are equivalent:

echo "Now you see me.";
die;
echo "Now you don't.";

echo "Now you see me.";
exit;
echo "Now you don't.";

echo "Now you see me.";
die("I'm dying!");
echo "Now you don't.";

echo "Now you see me.";
exit("I'm dying!");
echo "Now you don't.";

When is it best to use exit() or to use die() (or to use neither?).

neither may be the best option, but with out specifics its impossible to say.
