From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Operating system: Windows 2000 PHP version: 4.0.5 PHP Bug Type: Program Execution Bug description: Register_Shutdown_Function doesn't happen after shutdown In theory (at least IMHO), this function should be used to register functions to finish up after the client has detached from the server. This way, time consuming tasks like logging, closing connections, sending e-mail, or whatever can be done *after* the client is happily surfing to their next page. However, I have tested Register_Shutdown_Function as much as I can locally, and no matter what I try... I have to wait until my shutdown functions are done before I see the page, get redirected, or whatever. This is bug or a feature? Or am I a dummy? This example should execute and be done... but instead it waits around till the shutdown function is finished. I used sleep cause its a good way to kill time, but it happens with any time consuming operation (sending 5 emails through SMTP for example) Example: <? Register_ShutDown_Function("KillTime"); print("We're DONE here."); flush(); exit(); function KillTime(){ sleep(30); } ?> -- Edit Bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=11546&edit=1 -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
