Bug description: Can't exit an include file from function
It would be nice if a separate statement or function was used to exit
include files, instead of re-using the "return" statement for this
purpose.
Take the following example. In test1.php say I have:
<?
include("./test2.php");
echo "Foo";
?>
And in test2.php I have:
<?
function croak ($msg)
{
echo $msg;
return false;
}
mysql_connect(...) or croak("Can't connect");
mysql_select_db("foobar") or croak("Can't open DB");
?>
This doesn't work, of course. The return statement only returns from the
function and the include file continues processing. One instead has to do
something tedious like:
<?
if (!mysql_connect(...))
{
echo "Can't connect";
return false;
}
if (!mysql_select_db(...))
{
echo "Can't open DB";
return false;
}
?>
Hence I propose the addition of a new statement, which I will call "stop",
which exits from the current include file. Then test2.php would look
like:
<?
function croak ($msg)
{
echo $msg;
stop;
}
mysql_connect(...) or croak("Can't connect");
mysql_select_db("foobar") or croak("Can't open DB");
?>
Just an idea :-)
