    [RESOLVED] exit a php function in middle and continue other lines of code

    hi,
    i have this code

    Code:

    
    

    it outputs only HELLO

    but i want it to print

    HELLO WORLD

    It does not print world due to the exit function in the function... Please help me to get it work even if exit is executed... :-(

    Re: exit a php function in middle and continue other lines of code

    I'm guessing what you're looking for is 'return' and not 'exit'.

    'return' is a language construct that allows you to exit a function (with possible return value).
    'exit' is a function that stops execution for the entire script.

    Delete it. They just clutter threads anyway.

    i also tried return, But php keep doing something after return, it executes the whole code and then return. and that cause script to failure Maximum Execution Time 30 Seconds ( Error Comes )

    This has no meaning.

    PHP Code:

    function abc()
    {
      return;

    This also has no meaning. It is the same as:

    PHP Code:

    function abc() {} 

    This:

    PHP Code:

    function abc() {}

    echo

    'HELLO';
    abc();
    echo 
    'WORLD'

    will output:

    But php keep doing something after return, it executes the whole code and then return. and that cause script to failure Maximum Execution Time 30 Seconds ( Error Comes )

    This means you have created an infinite loop.

    Post the code that you tried.

    Re: exit a php function in middle and continue other lines of code

    Am I write assuming you want something like this:

    PHP Code:

      abc1(false);
      echo 
    "HELLO";
      
    abc1(true);
      echo 
    "WORLD";

    function

    abc1($doIt)
    {
      if(
    $doIt) {
        return;
      }
      echo 
    "&"// This doesn't get run if $doIt == true but the script continues
    }
    ?>
    OUTPUT:
    &HELLOWORLD

    Or:

    PHP Code:

      abc2(false);
      echo 
    "HELLO";
      
    abc2(true);
      echo 
    "WORLD";

    function

    abc2($doIt)
    {
      if(
    $doIt) {
        exit(
    0);
      }
      echo 
    "&"// This doesn't get run if $doIt == true but also the whole script stops.
    }
    ?>
    OUTPUT:
    &HELLO

    Re: exit a php function in middle and continue other lines of code

    i have noticed, that return still continues to the end of the loop, i just want to come out of the function and then continue rest script

    here is the code

    Code:

    END OF THE TREE Last Root Value $prev_root";
    			exit(0);
    		}			
    		if($level == 1)
    			echo "
    EMAIL = ".$row['email'] ; else if($level > 1) { $prev_root = $root; echo "
    Going to process Left Node (Level) $level = ". ($level -1) . "
    "; print_given_level($row['left_leg_assigned_to'], $level - 1); echo "
    Going to process Right Node (Level) $level = ". ($level -1) . "
    "; print_given_level($row['right_leg_assigned_to'], $level - 1); } } ?>

    i have just found a temp solution for now, to redirect to another page instead of exit;

    Re: exit a php function in middle and continue other lines of code

    Ah... you didn't mention recursion.

    Returning does exit the function. The problem is that you're expecting it to exit the whole recursion loop, but instead what it actually does is exit the current stack frame only.

    One technique you could use is to return a value (true or false) to indicate whether or not to continue recursing:

    PHP Code:

    $prev_root;
    function 
    print_given_level($root$level)
    {
        global 
    $prev_root;
        
    $sql "SELECT * FROM tbl_users where business_id= '$root' ";
        
    $res mysql_query($sql);
        
    $row mysql_fetch_array($res);
        if(
    $root 1)
        {
            echo 
    "END OF THE TREE Last Root Value $prev_root";
            return 
    false;
        }            
        if(
    $level == 1)
            echo 
    "


     EMAIL  =  ".$row['email'] ;   
        else if(
    $level 1)
        {
            
    $prev_root $root;
            echo 
    "
     Going to process Left Node (Level) 
    $level = ". ($level -1) . "
    "
    ;
            if (!
    print_given_level($row['left_leg_assigned_to'], $level 1))
                return 
    false;
            echo 
    "
     Going to process Right Node (Level) 
    $level = ". ($level -1) . "
    "
    ;            
            if (!
    print_given_level($row['right_leg_assigned_to'], $level 1))
                return 
    false;
        }

            return

    true;
    }
    ?>

    Traversing a tree can be done without recursion, but it is not as intuitive.

    Also, you avoid using echo to emit HTML.

    Also also, it strikes me that you might be able to avoid recursion altogether (and many queries) if you restructured your database.

    Re: [RESOLVED] exit a php function in middle and continue other lines of code

    Hi,
    i don't know why i can't get out of the loop from the specific place only.

    is it possible to exit from the recursive function below and process other task in the script ? without using of exit(0) function?

    Please make it out after printing the red line in the code.

    Code:

    							echo "Print_Something_here L And Exit";
    							return false;							
    							//exit(0);
    						}
    					
    						if($is_R_found == "empty")
    						{
    							echo "Print_Something_here R And Exit";
    							return false;							
    							//exit(0);							
    						}
    				
    					}	
        $sql = "SELECT * FROM tbl_users where business_id= '$root' ";
        $res = mysql_query($sql);
        $row = mysql_fetch_array($res);
        if($root < 1)
        {
            echo "END OF THE TREE Last Root Value $prev_root";
            return false;
        }            
        if($level == 1)
            echo "
    EMAIL = ".$row['email'] ; else if($level > 1) { $prev_root = $root; echo "
    Going to process Left Node (Level) $level = ". ($level -1) . "
    "; print_given_level($row['left_leg_assigned_to'], $level - 1) echo "
    Going to process Right Node (Level) $level = ". ($level -1) . "
    "; print_given_level($row['right_leg_assigned_to'], $level - 1) } return true; } ?>

    Re: [RESOLVED] exit a php function in middle and continue other lines of code

    You need to check the return value like I did in post 7.

    yes got it working. :-) thank you


How do you exit a function in PHP?

The exit() function in PHP is an inbuilt function which is used to output a message and terminate the current script. The exit() function only terminates the execution of the script. The shutdown functions and object destructors will always be executed even if exit() function is called.

What is the difference between exit and exit () in PHP?

exit("This request is processed"); ... PHP..

Does return exit the function PHP?

for those of you who think that using return in a script is the same as using exit note that: using return just exits the execution of the current script, exit the whole execution.

How do I exit an if statement in PHP?

You can't break if statements, only loops like for or while. If this if is in a function, use 'return'.
