[PHP-DOC] #20447 [NEW]: Register_shutdown_function - connection still open while registered shutdown... From: richardz <email protected>
Date: 11/15/02

From: richardz <email protected>
Operating system: RedHat 7.2
PHP version: 4.2.3
PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem
Bug description: Register_shutdown_function - connection still open while registered shutdown...

My problem is that the connection to the browser is still open while the
registered shutdown functions are executing. The documentation says that
from the registered shutdown functions you WON'T be able to echo or print
or modify the contents of the buffer. I can...

Example:
using apache 1.3.27
php version 4.2.3
//////////////////////////////////////////////
<?
function doThing(){
     for($i=0;$i<100000;$i++){
          //just looping to demonstrate that the page hangs while
executing this function
     }
     echo "PHP documentation says I shouldn't see this in my browser";
}
register_shutdown_function('doThing');

?>
<html>
Test Page.
<br><br>
</html>
////////////////////////////////////////////

I was hoping to register shutdown functions to do some cleanup - without
affecting the load time of the site. Apparently these functions don't
work that way?
