can i exit; in a template?

[diogo]

I like to use this tecnique for my pages under construction:

<?php
if($user->id==40){
include("construction.inc");
}else{
// home code
}

but today it occurred to me to do simply this:

<?php if($user->id==40) include("construction.inc");?>

// home code

and in the end of the included file:

<?php exit;

Is there any problem on doing this? I don't think there's something going on after the page is rendered, but just wanted to be sure...

don't know for sure. I use a simular:

<?php if($user->id==40) {

include("construction.inc");

die();

}

?>

I think you are better off not exiting, just because any hooks that go after render theoretically wouldn't get executed. It's possible some other housekeeping might get missed. Doing a "return;" might be better.
