I'm looking for help and advice concerning the logout_process hook.

I have a plugin on this hook which calls a function, which updates the database. Oddly, this update will only go through when I die() at the end of the hook, otherwise the logout proceeds as if the plugin didn't exist. Is there a reason for this, maybe something to do with the logout redirect?

The code of the plugin itself just includes the actual plugin file; i.e., include('modfolder/hooks/logout_process.php'). The contents of this file are below.

PHP Code:

require_once('mymod/includes/mymod_functions.php');
$db =& $vbulletin->db;
$userinfo =& $vbulletin->userinfo;
update_status($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'],'happy'); 


The update_status function is declared in the mymod_functions.php file, and its contents are below.

PHP Code:

function update_status($userid, $status) {
    global $db;
    $ts = time();
    $status_row = $db->query_first("SELECT * FROM mymod_status WHERE userid = {$userid}");
    if(empty($status_row)){
        $db->query_write("INSERT INTO mymod_status (userid, status,last_ping) VALUES({$userid},'{$status}',{$ts})");
    } else {
        $db->query_write("UPDATE mymod_status SET status = '{$status}', last_ping = {$ts}  WHERE userid = {$userid}");
    }
} 


Helpz plox.
