confused - can not find PHP API function for 'die'

[R]

Hello everybody.

I'm looking for PHP API function for 'die'

I'm messing with my own function - it's my own 'var_dump' - 'myDump'

It works fine, but I want to end script after dumping variables.

I found that Zend's lexer return T_EXIT token and creates zend_do_exit
code - but I guest it's not what I need.

So the question is:
How can I end script from PHP API? I want to achieve exactly the same
effect as:

---
myDump($object) ;
die();
---

but I want it all in one function as:
---
myDump($object) ;
---

thanx in advance
cheers R

R,

Why wouldn't you just call exit() from within your function?

function myDump($object) {
//do something with object...
exit();
}

because I want to create PHP API function - forgive me but I know how
to exit my script in plain PHP....

PHP API goes sth like this:

PHP_FUNCTION(my Dump)
{
zval *var;
zend_bool i = 0;

if (zend_parse_par ameters(ZEND_NU M_ARGS() TSRMLS_CC, "z|b", &var,
&i) == FAILURE) {
RETURN_FALSE;
}

/* do my thing in C */

}

and I want to call die function from myDump - but I can not make it.

thanks in advance for any help
cheers R

R,

O.K., The fact that you were trying to write an extension using the API
was not clear to me from your initial post.

Also, it may be helpful to know that die()/exit() are actually
implemented as a language construct in php, not as a function.

You may want to try and repost this on the php-dev ML as you will
probably get more appropriate answers there.

Carl.
