[PHP-DEV] exit() / die() From: Zeev Suraski (zeev <email protected>)

Guys,

Changing these is quite out of the question - they've been a core part of
the language since 1997 (at least), and have lots of lines of code that
rely on them. Moreover, there's no clear-cut reason to change it,
especially considering it only makes sense when used in command-line mode,
whereas the current behavior is useful in all SAPIs (in order to introduce
such a compatibility-breaking change, we need a *good* reason).

My suggestion is:
(a) Tracing when exit() started changing exit status. If it was recent
enough, revert.
(b) In the CGI SAPI, introduce a shell_exit() or terminate() (possibly find
a better name), that will exit and set the specified error level.
