uopz_allow_exit

(PECL uopz 5, PECL uopz 6, PECL uopz 7)

uopz_allow_exitAllows control over disabled exit opcode

Description

uopz_allow_exit(bool $allow): void

By default uopz disables the exit opcode, so exit() calls are practically ignored. uopz_allow_exit() allows to control this behavior.

Parameters

allow

Whether to allow the execution of exit opcodes or not.

Return Values

No value is returned.

Examples

Example #1 uopz_allow_exit() example

<?php
exit(1);
echo
1;
uopz_allow_exit(true);
exit(
2);
echo
2;
?>

The above example will output:

1

Notes

Caution

OPcache optimizes away dead code after unconditional exit.

PHP 8.4 changed exit and die to functions, so this call has no effect. Instead you can redefine those functions to do nothing.

<?php
function allow_exit( bool $allow ) {
if (
PHP_VERSION_ID < 80400 ) {
uopz_allow_exit( $allow );
} elseif (
$allow ) {
uopz_unset_return( 'exit' );
uopz_unset_return( 'die' );
} else {
uopz_set_return('exit', static function() {});
uopz_set_return('die', static function() {});
}
}
?>

Test:
<?php
echo "Calling die() with allow_exit(false)\n";
allow_exit( false );
die();
echo
"Calling die() with allow_exit(true)\n";
allow_exit( true );
die();
echo
"Unreachable\n";
?>
Calling die() with allow_exit(false)
Calling die() with allow_exit(true)
