This function halts the execution of the compiler. This can be useful to
embed data in PHP scripts, like the installation files.
Byte position of the data start can be determined by the
__COMPILER_HALT_OFFSET__ constant which is defined
only if there is a __halt_compiler() presented in the
file.
Note: __halt_compiler() can only be used from the outermost
scope.
Examples
Example 1. A __halt_compiler() example
<?php
// open this file $fp = fopen(__FILE__, 'r');
// seek file pointer to data fseek($fp, __COMPILER_HALT_OFFSET__);
// and output it var_dump(stream_get_contents($fp));
// the end of the script execution __halt_compiler();the instalation data (eg. tar, gz, PHP, etc..)
