You normally use exit(0) if everything went ok. But if your program detects an error and decides to abort, you would use exit(1). Or you might use exit(1), exit(2), etc, with each exit code meaning some specific error.

EXIT(3) 1 EXIT(3)
exit - Output a message and terminate the current script
SYNOPSIS
void exit ([string $status])
DESCRIPTION
void exit (int $status)
Terminates execution of the script. Shutdown functions and object destructors will always be executed even if exit is called.
exit is a language construct and it can be called without parentheses if no $status is passed.
PARAMETERS
o $status
- If $status is a string, this function prints the $status just before exiting. If $status is an integer, that value will be used
as the exit status and not printed. Exit statuses should be in the range 0 to 254, the exit status 255 is reserved by PHP and
shall not be used. The status 0 is used to terminate the program successfully.
Note
PHP >= 4.2.0 does NOT print the $status if it is an integer.
RETURN VALUES
No value is returned.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
exit example
<?php
$filename = '/path/to/data-file';
$file = fopen($filename, 'r')
or exit("unable to open file ($filename)");
?>
Example #2
exit status example
<?php
//exit program normally
exit;
exit();
exit(0);
//exit with an error code
exit(1);
exit(0376); //octal
?>
Example #3
Shutdown functions and destructors run regardless
<?php
class Foo
{
public function __destruct()
{
echo 'Destruct: ' . __METHOD__ . '()' . PHP_EOL;
}
}
function shutdown()
{
echo 'Shutdown: ' . __FUNCTION__ . '()' . PHP_EOL;
}
$foo = new Foo();
register_shutdown_function('shutdown');
exit();
echo 'This will not be output.';
?>
The above example will output:
Shutdown: shutdown()
Destruct: Foo::__destruct()
NOTES
Note
Because this is a language construct and not a function, it cannot be called using variable functions.
Note
This language construct is equivalent to die(3).
