[SOLVED] How to escape/ kill/ abort from within a function?

[physaux]

I have a function,

<?php
function myfunction($var1){
if($var1=="none"){
kill;
}
...
}
?>

 

How can I abort the function, at the point of "kill"

-I know I could just wrap the rest of the function in a opposite if statement, but I specifically want to just have an escape function, as my "escape point" might be deep in brackets next time, bla bla

 

I know you can escape out of loops(don't remember the exact way but idc), so I am wondering if you can from functions?

 

*the function does not return any value

You mean like die or exit?

[physaux]

this will just "skip" to the end of the function? Or will it stop my overall script? They are not very clear with it. I just want this as a "trigger" inside of a function, so that when it is called and the value is a unwanted one, it finishes.

 

will this do the trick? It's confusing they say it terminates the php script.

[Alex]

Oh sorry, I thought you wanted to terminate the entire script. If you just want to break out of the current function use return

[physaux]

heh its that simple? I was afraid that return would crash if I didn't give it a value, and I didn't want to do that. Guess i just should have tested it

 

thanks
