I just got bitten by this. The manual page says that if the value passed
to exit() is integer it is used as exit status.

Or is there some other way to exit from PHP script with an exit status?

Simply put - no, it should not.

exit's optional argument is a termination message, not a shell status.

Anyone in the Zend core want to comment on this?  I know where the code is that does 
it.  But it is in the Zend code.

Is there a good reason to put this exit status to stdout?

indeed it does both:

if php; then echo yes; fi
<? exit(0) ?>
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.0.5
Content-type: text/html

0yes

if php; then echo yes; fi
<? exit(1) ?>
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.0.5
Content-type: text/html

1

i don't see a real reason for the echoed exit status though

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.
