break

[bunny1]

is there a method to break the code at a certain place?

I see we have another flash commercial with a road map for "Windows Vista". How lovely and clever.

Maybe something like mysql_close();

If you are talking about breaking out of a loop then use

break;

There are a few ways to break out of php code at a certain spot. You can use:

die("Insert message here");
exit();

I don't know where that mysql_close() came from though, the question wasn't about closing a mysql database connection, it was about stopping any php code at any point.

Actually, it was about breaking the code. What better way to break a code than to close it. You can always start it again.

I'm interested, PlainSense, how does closing a mysql connection break php code?

If you're in a loop use

break;


Other than that, you can use, as suggested die(); but I would not use exit; necessarily though because if you have any other includes, or php code that needs to be executed on a page after this, then the exit; command will stop all other php code from running, not necessarily what you want.

Other than that, you can use, as suggested die(); but I would not use exit; exit() or die() - same-same, no difference.

PlainSense, there is a huge difference between closing a connection to a mysql database and trying to break out of a code loop, or just stopping code from running. You could put in mysql_close() after every line of code in your php and it wouldn't do anything except close a connection to a mysql database (if you even had one open) and the rest of the code would keep on going.
