Terminating PHP Script

[kdshah]

How can I terminate a PHP script prematurely based on some condition? At the same time, I would like to send some message to the user informing him of the reason of this premature termination..

For example

if (x>10)
echo "value greater than 9 is invalid";
//END PHP SCRIPT ( HOW TO DO ??)
else
//continue executing the script.

Thanks,
Kunal

if (x>10)
echo "value greater than 9 is invalid";
exit;
else
//continue executing the script.

Just FYI that I am looking for some method to end the script and not just a way of getting that example work.(coz in the example that I gave, an if else could have worked)

The die function does exactly what you want. It prints a message and terminates the script. The syntax is very easy:

die("Message");
