My code looks like: zend_throw_exception(amqp_connection_exception_class_entry, "blah blah blah", 0 TSRMLS_CC); return; Should I instead RETURN_FALSE from there?

It doesn't really matter, as return value will never be checked. "return" should be enough -- Alexey Zakhlestin http://www.milkfarmsoft.com/ --- ## #48740 — Daniel Convissor — 2010-06-11T17:24:16+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/48732#48740 · In reply to: #48732 Hi Pieter: > > zend_throw_exception(amqp_connection_exception_class_entry, "blah blah > blah", 0 TSRMLS_CC); > return; These kinds of questions (regarding how to use PHP) should be asked on the php-general list. The internals list you wrote to is for discussions of how to make PHP. Anyway, the "return" line in your code can never be reached, so should not be there at all. --Dan -- T H E A N A L Y S I S A N D S O L U T I O N S C O M P A N Y data intensive web and database programming http://www.AnalysisAndSolutions.com/ 4015 7th Ave #4, Brooklyn NY 11232 v: 718-854-0335 f: 718-854-0409 --- ## #48742 — Hannes Magnusson — 2010-06-11T17:34:54+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/48732#48742 · In reply to: #48740 On Fri, Jun 11, 2010 at 19:24, Daniel Convissor wrote: > Hi Pieter: > > > > […] > > These kinds of questions (regarding how to use PHP) should be asked on > the php-general list.  The internals list you wrote to is for discussions > of how to make PHP. Which part of "zend_throw_exception()" sounds like a php-general@ question? I think you misread his question :) -Hannes --- ## #48754 — Daniel Convissor — 2010-06-12T14:34:11+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/48732#48754 · In reply to: #48742 Hi Hannes: > > Which part of "zend_throw_exception()" sounds like a php-general@ question?
