Re: [PHP-DEV] register_shutdown_function() question in regards to bug #8395 From: Zeev Suraski (zeev <email protected>)
Date: 12/26/00

This doesn't appear to be a bug. Shutdown functions are executed, well, on
shutdown :) That does include shutdown after exit() statements. One
inconsistency is that output from this function goes through, whereas it
doesn't go through in the Apache module. The correct behavior is actually
that of the CGI version, and not that of the Apache module.

Does anybody have an opinion about this? Should the Apache module be fixed
so that output from the shutdown functions goes through (assuming the
client is still connceted)?
