No, you shouldn't/wouldn't, because--as is noted in the docs <http://php.net/register-shutdown-function>--no more output ("print" is specifically mentioned as an example) can be sent to the browser at that stage.

It doesn't matter. I'm setting the output *not* to the browser, but to the
command shell, where I am running the script from. If you look at the
errors, you'll see 2 of them, one points to line 7, where the IF() command
is -- the script terminates there...
I've put error_log() and exec() functions in place of the print()
function -- it doesn't make a difference -- the script just won't execute
the function in the register_shutdown_function() --
The following script works great (see below) -- it seems that for some
reason its a TIMEOUT issue (bug).
Running the script below, I will get the output of the print() function --
as stated, from the command line. I understand that it wouldn't show up in
the browser.
If I replace the "exit;" command with say a "while(1);" where the script
will loop indefinitely, the timeout, set by the set_time_limit(1) will stop
the script, but again -- register_shutdown_function() seems to "want to
work" as the function IS CALLED, but NEVER executed, and instead errors on
the 1st line in the FUNCTION -- always on a TIMEOUT.
Run this script from your command line (ie. C:>php test.php) -- then change
the "set_time_limit(30)" to "set_time_limit(1)", and replace the "exit" with
a "while(1)" -- run the script again, you'll see what I mean.
And, if you still don't believe me, replace the print() in the function with
"error_log('Script Terminated', 3, 'errorlog.txt');" and see if the
"errorlog.txt" file is ever created -- it isn't.
<?
set_time_limit(30);
function clean_up()
{
print("Script Terminated");
}
register_shutdown_function("clean_up");
exit;
?>
If anyone can offer any reason why its doing this, please help -- thanks.

Pretty much common sense, right? How about something like this:
// $timestamp1 = starting date (unix timestamp)
// $timestamp2 = ending date (unix timestamp)
// $weekday = day we're counting (0 = Sunday, 1 = Monday, etc.)
function weekdaysBetween ($timestamp1, $timestamp2, $weekday)
{
return floor(intval(($timestamp2 - $timestamp1) / 86400) / 7)
+ ((date('w', $timestamp1) <= $weekday) ? 1 : 0);
}

Two columns in my PostgreSQL db are type 'date' (formatted 'YYYY-mm-dd'):
'start_date' and 'expiry_date'. What I cannot seem to figure out is how to
augment the 'expiry_date' either by 30 days, 60 days, or 1 year.
I've tried the date function in PHP (getdate) but the problem is that it
appears to need a timestamp of "today". The dates that I'm trying to augment
are sometimes a year or two ago.
This doesn't work:
$new_expiry_date = $expiry_date("Y-m-d", mktime(0,0,0, date(Y), date(m),
date(d) + 60)));
I assume it's because the '$expiry_date' should be simply 'date', but that
would give the current date which is not what is wanted. Is there anyway to
set 'date' as '$expiry_date'?
Suggestions, admonitions, and general advice will be greatly appreciated.
Btw, I've searched the archives, and haven't found anything quite on this
topic.
Tia,
Andre

Hi
You need to use the strtodate function which converts to a time stamp a
date string and you can offset it by a number of days or whatever
something like this
<?
$start = "2002-01-01";
$expire = date("Y-m-d",strtotime("+30 days",strtotime($start)));
echo $expire."<br>";
?>

Thanks Tom, for the excellent help!

--- Begin Message ---Dunno if this has been mentioned or fixed in the latest release (I'm using PHP version 4.1.1) -- but, a script will not timeout until the sleep() function has finished it's duration -- for example: In my script, if I set "set_time_limit(30)" -- then later in the script I call a "sleep(45)" -- the script will not timeout until 45 seconds later, from the point at which the sleep() function was called. Now, being a conscious programmer -- I'd probably never set my sleep() function to exceed my default or defined timeout setting. However, the sleep value can be set via a $var -- and depending on what functions are performed -- I can see how, when a programmer wants his script to timeout within a certain amount of time and then it doesn't; can cause a problem -- in-fact, I can foree some sort of sleep-attack whereby a malicious hacker figures out that a particular script on a particular website has a dynamic $var for the sleep() function -- then s/he writes a script which calls the page many times --- "injecting" the $var (say for example: http://www.whateverweb.goo/home.php?t=65536, where $t is the time $var in the script; sleep($t);" Effectively; in this case, the scripts won't timeout for 18 some hours. Filling up memory fast. Just FYI. Jason--- End Message ---

--- Begin Message ---Hello everyone, Simple question: Will registering a variable twice, using session_register(), reset the value of the variable to a different value? I just now started using the session_is_registered() function on all sessions to see if they have been registered already, before I register them yet again. But now I'm wondering about the inner workings of the session itself. PHP.net doesn't do a very good job at explaining the details. Thanks in advance for anyone's help. Navid--- End Message ---

How can I tell if IIS is compressing my PHP / HTML pages? If you have NN4.X use view source, if the source is empty then compression is active.

You cannot refresh part of a page without resending the whole page. You can
use frames.

*Read* the manual and see what it says about header() and "header already
send".

$line = $fcontents[$i];
if (!empty($line))
{
$currentdate = getmydate($line); //call function that returns first date.
This is OK
$currentdate = substr($currentdate, 1);
$currentdate= substr_replace($currentdate, " ", -15);
echo "First day of access " .$currentdate;
$lastdate = getmydate($fcontents[count($fcontents)-1]);
