PHP Version: 4.2.3
New Comment:
I'm really interested myself under which conditions a script still can
output data to the client using register_shutdown_function(). If this
is a documentation problem, how's this really supposed to work?

I tested this on a system with:
OS: Fedora Linux Core 1
Apache version: 2.0.48-1.2
PHP version: 4.3.4-1.1
And the connection to the browser was still open. So the bug isn't
solved yet!

Could you elaborate on that please? I am experiencing
the bug in PHP 4.3.0 and Apache 1.3.27 on OS X, 10.2.8,
as well as PHP 4.1.2 on Apache 1.3.22 on Red Hat Linux.
Under what conditions will it work? I need this
function to work as advertised to perform some time-
consuming tasks in the background and let the user move
on. Since this is pretty much the only way to achieve
anything approaching asynchronous processing in the
Apache PHP environment it seems fairly important.

This is a documtation problem.
Under certain condition you may infact be able to output data to the
browser from inside the register_shutdown_function handler.

Is this a documentation problem or a php-bug?
According to some users the documented behaviour worked under PHP <
4.1.0, but now the function behaves differently.
Could someone please check this?

I to have run across this problem. I was hoping to use a registered
shutdown function to do some final fairly slow socket processing that
the client didn't need to see. My test case is as follows:
register_shutdown_function('sd');
function sd()
{
echo "I shouldn't be seen";
sleep(5);
}
Causes the browser to echo text then sleep for 5 seconds before
completing the page. I also agree that the manual is incorrect. Is
there another way to force php to close the output stream so slower non
user related functions can be executed?
