[SOLVED] Stop included script

[Stooney]

Is it possible to stop execution of an included script without stopping execution of everything else?

 

In this example, the exit() in file1.php would stop everything and stuff2() won't happen.  Is there a way to just stop file1.php and continue what was going on outside of the include?

<?php
stuff();
include('file1.php');
stuff2();
?>

 

file1.php

<?php
exit();
dont_do_this();
?>

I'm pretty sure that you can't.  Why would you want to?  Give us a real situation.

take off the exit in the file1.php or have an if statement determine if it should actually exit or not.  also put stuff2() prior to the include

I will just go with an if/else, I was hoping there was a cleaner/less ugly way of doing it but I guess not.

Untested, but should work -> http://php.net/return
