Appropriate use of die()?
- by letseatfood
I create pages in my current PHP project by using the following template:
<?php
include 'bootstrap.php';
head();
?>
<!-- Page content here -->
<?php
foot();
?>
Is the following example an appropriate use of die()? Also, what sort of problems might this cause for me, if any?
<?php
include 'bootstrap.php';
head();
try
{
//Simulate throwing an exception from some class
throw new Exception('Something went wrong!');
}
catch(Exception $e)
{
?>
<p>Please fix the following errors:</p>
<p><?php echo $e->getMessage(); ?></p>
<?php
foot();
die();
}
//If no exception is thrown above, continue script
doSomething();
doSomeOtherThing();
foot();
?>
?>
<?php
foot();
?>
Basically, I have a script with multiple tasks on it and I am trying to set up a graceful way to notify the user of input errors while preventing the remaining portion of the script from executing.
Thanks!
