Just a thought...

-------------------------------------------------------------------
void exit ( [mixed message[, int return_value]])


Note: This is not a real function, but a language construct. 

The exit() function terminates execution of the script. Message
must be a string or an int.  If a non-null message is given it is
printed just before exiting. If return_value is given the exit status
of the program is set to this value.  To set an exit status without
printing anything, pass "" as message.


exit();                 end program, print nothing, return 0

exit( "message" );      end program, print message, return 0

exit( 5 );              end program, print 5,       return 0

exit( "messge", 5 );    end program, print message, return 5

exit( 6, 5 );           end program, print 6,       return 5

exit( "", 5 );          end program, print nothing, return 5

NOTE: The last example does not print _anything_.  No <BR>'s no \n's...
nothing.  

-------------------------------------------------------------------

That should preserve BC and let those of us who are using php for shell
scripting to have a reasonably simple way to return program status with
or without printing message.
