exit -- Output a message and terminate the current script

``void exit` (int status)`

> Note: This is not a real function, but a language construct.

The exit() function terminates execution of the script. It prints `status` just before exiting.

If `status` is an integer, that value will also be used as the exit status.

> Note: The die() function is an alias for exit().

    <?php

    $filename = '/path/to/data-file';
    $file = fopen ($filename, 'r')
