PHP 8.4.1 Released!

exit

(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

exitTerminer le script en cours avec un code d'état ou un message

Description

exit(string|int $status = 0): never

Termine le script courant. Les fonctions d'extinction et les destructeurs d'objets seront toujours exécutés même si exit est appelé. Cependant, les blocs finally ne sont jamais exécutés.

Un code de sortie de 0 est utilisé pour indiquer que le programme a réussi ses tâches. Toute autre valeur indique qu'une erreur s'est produite lors de l'exécution.

exit() est une fonction spéciale, car elle dispose d'un jeton dédié dans l'analyseur syntaxique. Elle peut ainsi être utilisée comme une instruction (c'est-à-dire sans parenthèses) pour terminer le script avec le code de statut par défaut.

Attention

Il n'est pas possible de désactiver ou de créer une fonction dans un espace de noms qui remplace la fonction globale exit().

Liste de paramètres

status
Si status est une chaîne de caractères, cette fonction affiche status juste avant de quitter. Le code de sortie retourné par PHP est 0.

Si status est un int, le code de sortie retourné par PHP sera status.

Note: Les codes de sortie doivent être compris entre 0 et 254. Le code de sortie 255 est réservé par PHP et ne doit pas être utilisé.

Avertissement

Avant PHP 8.4.0, exit() ne respectait pas la logique habituelle de gestion des types de PHP ni la déclaration strict_types.

Toute valeur non int était convertie en string, y compris les valeurs de type resource et array. À partir de PHP 8.4.0, la fonction suit la gestion standard des types et génère une TypeError pour les valeurs non valides.

Valeurs de retour

Comme cette fonction termine le script PHP, aucune valeur n'est retournée.

Historique

Version Description
8.4.0 exit() est désormais une véritable fonction, elle suit donc la logique habituelle de gestion des types, est affectée par la déclaration strict_types, peut être appelée avec des arguments nommés et être utilisée comme une fonction variable.

Exemples

Exemple #1 Exemple de base de la fonction exit()

<?php

// quitter le programme normalement
exit();
exit(
0);

// quitter avec un code d'erreur
exit(1);

?>

Exemple #2 Exemple de exit() avec un string

<?php

$filename
= '/path/to/data-file';
$file = fopen($filename, 'r')
or exit(
"unable to open file ($filename)");
?>

Exemple #3 Exemple d'exécution des fonctions d'extinction et des destructeurs d'objets

<?php
class Foo
{
public function
__destruct()
{
echo
'Destructeur : ' . __METHOD__ . '()' . PHP_EOL;
}
}

function
shutdown()
{
echo
'Arrêt : ' . __FUNCTION__ . '()' . PHP_EOL;
}

$foo = new Foo();
register_shutdown_function('shutdown');

exit();
echo
'Ceci ne sera jamais affiché.';
?>

L'exemple ci-dessus va afficher :

Arrêt : shutdown()
Destruction : Foo::__destruct()

Exemple #4 exit() en tant qu'instruction

<?php

// quitter le programme normalement avec le code de sortie 0
exit;

?>

Notes

Avertissement

À partir de PHP 8.4.0, exit() était une construction du langage et non une fonction, il n'était donc pas possible de l'appeler en utilisant des fonctions variables, ou des arguments nommés.

If you want to avoid calling exit() in FastCGI as per the comments below, but really, positively want to exit cleanly from nested function call or include, consider doing it the Python way:

define an exception named `SystemExit', throw it instead of calling exit() and catch it in index.php with an empty handler to finish script execution cleanly.

<?php

// file: index.php
class SystemExit extends Exception {}
try {
/* code code */
}
catch (
SystemExit $e) { /* do nothing */ }
// end of file: index.php

// some deeply nested function or .php file

if (SOME_EXIT_CONDITION)
throw new
SystemExit(); // instead of exit()

jbezorg at gmail proposed the following:

<?php

if($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'] == __FILE__ )
header('Location: /');

?>

After sending the `Location:' header PHP _will_ continue parsing, and all code below the header() call will still be executed. So instead use:

<?php

if($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'] == __FILE__)
{
header('Location: /');
exit;
}

?>

A side-note for the use of exit with finally: if you exit somewhere in a try block, the finally won't be executed. Could not sound obvious: for instance in Java you never issue an exit, at least a return in your controller; in PHP instead you could find yourself exiting from a controller method (e.g. in case you issue a redirect).

Here follows the POC:

<?php
echo "testing finally wit exit\n";

try {
echo
"In try, exiting\n";

exit;
} catch(
Exception $e) {
echo
"catched\n";
} finally {
echo
"in finally\n";
}

echo
"In the end\n";
?>

This will print:

testing finally wit exit
In try, exiting

These are the standard error codes in Linux or UNIX.

1 - Catchall for general errors
2 - Misuse of shell builtins (according to Bash documentation)
126 - Command invoked cannot execute
127 - “command not found”
128 - Invalid argument to exit
128+n - Fatal error signal “n”
130 - Script terminated by Control-C
255\* - Exit status out of range

Don't use the exit() function in the auto prepend file with fastcgi (linux/bsd os).
It has the effect of leaving opened files with for result at least a nice "Too many open files ..." error.

Calling 'exit' will bypass the auto_append_file option.
On some free hosting this risks you getting removed, as they may be using for ads and analytics.

So be a bit careful if using this on the most common output branch.

Note, that using exit() will explicitly cause Roxen webserver to die, if PHP is used as Roxen SAPI module. There is no known workaround for that, except not to use exit(). CGI versions of PHP are not affected.

To rich dot lovely at klikzltd dot co dot uk:

Using a "@" before header() to suppress its error, and relying on the "headers already sent" error seems to me a very bad idea while building any serious website.

This is *not* a clean way to prevent a file from being called directly. At least this is not a secure method, as you rely on the presence of an exception sent by the parser at runtime.

I recommend using a more common way as defining a constant or assigning a variable with any value, and checking for its presence in the included script, like:

in index.php:
<?php
define
('INDEX', true);
?>

in your included file:
<?php
if (!defined('INDEX')) {
die(
'You cannot call this script directly !');
}
?>

BR.

In addition to "void a t informance d o t info", here's a one-liner that requires no constant:

<?php basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) == basename(__FILE__) && die('Thou shall not pass!'); ?>

Placing it at the beginning of a PHP file will prevent direct access to the script.

To redirect to / instead of dying:

<?php
if (basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) == basename(__FILE__)) {
if (
ob_get_contents()) ob_clean(); // ob_get_contents() even works without active output buffering
header('Location: /');
die;
}
?>

Doing the same in a one-liner:

<?php basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) == basename(__FILE__) && (!ob_get_contents() || ob_clean()) && header('Location: /') && die; ?>

A note to security: Even though $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] comes from the user, it's safe to assume its validity, as the "manipulation" takes place _before_ the actual file execution, meaning that the string _must_ have been valid enough to execute the file. Also, basename() is binary safe, so you can safely rely on this function.

Beware if you enabled uopz extension, it disables exit / die() by default. They are just "skipped".

When using php-fpm, fastcgi_finish_request() should be used instead of register_shutdown_function() and exit()

For example, under nginx and php-fpm 5.3+, this will make browsers wait 10 seconds to show output:

<?php
echo "You have to wait 10 seconds to see this.<br>";
register_shutdown_function('shutdown');
exit;
function
shutdown(){
sleep(10);
echo
"Because exit() doesn't terminate php-fpm calls immediately.<br>";
}
?>

This doesn't:

<?php
echo "You can see this from the browser immediately.<br>";
fastcgi_finish_request();
sleep(10);
echo
"You can't see this form the browser.";
?>

If you are using templates with numerous includes then exit() will end you script and your template will not complete (no </table>, </body>, </html> etc...). Rather than having complex nested conditional logic within your content, just create a "footer.php" file that closes all of your HTML and if you want to exit out of a script just include() the footer before you exit().

for example:

include ('header.php');
blah blah blah
if (!$mysql_connect) {
echo "unable to connect";
include ('footer.php');
exit;
}
blah blah blah
include ('footer.php');

Be noticed about uopz (User Operations for Zend) extension of PHP. It disables (prevents) halting of PHP scripts (both FPM and CLI) on calling `exit()` and `die()` by default just after enabling the extension. Therefore your script will continue to execute.

>> Shutdown functions and object destructors will always be executed even if exit is called.

It is false if you call exit into desctructor.

Normal exit:
<?php
class A
{
public function
__destruct()
{
echo
"bye A\n";
}
}

class
B
{
public function
__destruct()
{
echo
"bye B\n";
}
}

$a = new A;
$b = new B;
exit;

// Output:
// bye B
// bye A
?>

// Exit into desctructor:
<?php
class A
{
public function
__destruct()
{
echo
"bye A\n";
}
}

class
B
{
public function
__destruct()
{
echo
"bye B\n";
exit;
}
}

$a = new A;
$b = new B;

// Output:
// bye B
?>
