Why using "or die()" in PHP is a bad practice

Daniel wrote a nice article on phpfreaks.com describing why it's bad practice to use "or die()" in your php code.

Reasons such as:

1. It's not a very nice way to present the user with an error message.
2. Using for instance the mysql_error() call with it, as many people do, exposes information that should never get output in a production environment
3. You cannot catch the error in any way.
4. You cannot log the error.
5. You cannot control whether it should be output to the screen or not. It's okay to do that in a development environment, but certainly not in a production environment.
6. It prevents you from doing any sort of cleanup. It just ends the script abruptly.
