Is break; required after die() php

Question

I've been thinking to much...

In the area of switch case is break; required after die()

Example:

switch($i){

     case 0:
          die('Case without break;');

     case 1:
          die('Case with break;');
          break;

}

Answer 1

die() is just an alias for exit(), where exit() will terminate the program flow immediately. (Shutdown functions and object destructors will still get executed after exit())

And no, it is not a syntax error to omit the break, on the contrary there are many useful cases for omitting the break. Check the manual page of the switch statement for examples.
