[PHP-DEV] Bug #11008: exit() should return an exit status if passed, not send to stdout From: brianm <email protected>

Bug description: exit() should return an exit status if passed, not send to stdout

Working with a shell script here. I hoped that exit() would work like perl and return the passed status as and exist status. As it stands now, it sends it to stdout. This is unexpected.

It would be much more useful if exit() could be used to enable the use of PHP in shell scripts by returning the passed value as an exit status.
