PHP shell scripting - exit status

[mr_than]

Hi all,

Just a quickie, when using PHP for shell scripting, can the exit() command be used to return an exit status for a script?

ie. exit(255) - would this kill the script and return 255 to the shell or whatever called the script.

thanks.

Yes, that's what the manual says.

yeah thanks... I missed that bit, I only read the "prints it out bit"...
