From: Operating system: Linux PHP version: 5.3.2 Package: Unknown/Other Function Bug Type: Bug Bug description:die() returns exit code 0
Description: ------------ die() returns exit status 0 (success), which is IMHO illogical. This mostly matters when using PHP-CLI, for example where you have the usual: @mysql_connect(..) or die('sql blahblah'); ...in that case a success error code is returned. I had this in an authentication callback script which returns 0 on user success and any other value on user failure. In this case it returned 'success' in case of a SQL server error. The only workaround I can see is first printing the error message, and then doing an explicit die/exit with a numerical value. This does not exactly improve code readability/niceness. And, like I said, I simply didn't expect die() to return a success exit code. Test script: --------------- <? die('abc'); ?> Expected result: ---------------- I expect a non-zero exit code, instead of 0 (success). Actual result: -------------- Exit status of 0 (success) -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51930&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51930&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51930&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51930&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51930&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51930&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51930&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51930&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51930&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51930&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51930&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51930&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51930&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51930&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51930&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51930&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51930&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51930&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51930&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51930&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51930&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51930&r=mysqlcfg
