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?

Answer 1

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

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

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