Best Way to Exit Code Blocks

[Humpty]

G'day Guys,

 

Here is a Query from a quer bloke:

(Visualising VB code structure in my head as I type this)

 

I want to create a code block, Sub, Function whatever you want to call it.

 

I want to exit that block but still permit the PHP script to run. (Example Ideal World: Use a whole bunch of Includes with the ability to use

exit();

without stopping the main script.)

 

I'm after either a push in the right direction or a recomendation on a way to do this.

 

At this stage all I can think of is to use

continue;

and place all my code in a loop which loops once.

 

If this post is a little too Dr. Seuss please let me know and I will try to reword it. Thanks - humpty

If your using a function, look into http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.register-shutdown-function.php

I'm not using a function, however does seem like a good avenue to follow for what I want.

 

(basically want the equivelent of calling a sub and exiting that sub without exiting the program)

personally i think you mean break for a loops, switch or if, but if you just want to exit the funtion why not use return ?

... but if you just want to exit the funtion why not use return ?

 

That was exactly the point, I wasn't in a function to start with.  That does seem like the best way to go though. A function with no variables will just as well as a function with variables, and on the same side of the fence there is no need to return any values etc, just use return to exit that function.

 

That is what I was looking for, seems like it would be the best and closest thing to a sub.

 

Thanks dudes. (will leave topic unsolved for a bit in case someone comes up with somethign else)
