Alternative for die();

blink359 · November 8, 2010

Hi i learnt today hard way that die(); can kill of loading the rest of your html page if you place it in the middle of your html after a few hours of trying to work out what was wrong and wondered what alternatives there are i have tried a few like "E_USER_ERROR" and "trigger_error" but none halt the script and display a message or do it without loading the rest of my page, There must be another way i just havent found it and would be really grateful if someone could tell me it.

Thanks,

die() is mostly used for database connectivity from my experience.

You can simply echo like:

if(!$email || !$subject || !$to || !$message)
{
	echo "Please fill in all required fields";
}
