PHP: is it possible to end a script like exit() but from inside a php class/object

Question

Is it possible to do this?

$objetc -> runAndFinish();

echo "this should not be echoed";

instead of this?

$objetc -> runAndFinish();

exit();

echo "this should not be echoed";

So runAndFinish(); method would somehow end the script processing. Is it possible?

Yes. Just put the exit(); or die(); statement into the runAndFinish() method. Did you even try this before you asked the question? — Spudley

Put an exit(); inside of your classes runAndFinish(); method

class someClass{
  function runAndFinish(){
     exit();
  }
}

$obj = new someClass();
$obj->runAndFinish();
echo "not gonna print";

Put the exit call in the method and it will exit during its call

If you are in a class you can use:

if($condition)
{
return;
}

Yes, of course it's possible. It you put exit() or die() (or something else that might end execution) in that particular method and it will execute.

To my knowledge, there aren't any special restrictions for what you can execute in a methods vs. anything else.
