Inconsistent behavior with die()
<p>Something that I think is really strange is happening when I use <a href="http://php.net/die" rel="nofollow"><code>die()</code></a>. The following code produces no output:</p>

<pre><code>die($test);
</code></pre>

<p>However, the following code <strong>does</strong> output the integer value stored in $test:</p>

<pre><code>die('test: ' . $test);
</code></pre>

<p>Why on earth would that be?</p>
