Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63072&edit=1 ID: 63072 User updated by: zdexter_cds at hotmail dot com Reported by: zdexter_cds at hotmail dot com Summary: Request: function as register_shutdown_function, but as it was before PHP 4.1.0 Status: Open Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Unknown/Other Function Operating System: Anyone PHP Version: 5.4.6 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Bumping this feature, since I don't understand the use of register_shutdown_function being used as part of request. If you want a function to be part of request, just put it before exit or in the request, right? But if you want a function after the request you need to use Output Control Functions, which makes you code unecessary text to control header lenght, a thing most devs won't want because php already does it automatically, turning ur code big and poor since it was not needed with rsf original functionality.

It'd generate undisered requests to server, it's more like a jerry-rig to something could be solved in just one step. 3. If fpm has it, php could have it by default in other cases too. "but such function will be very limited, like it can not output anything." I know, but it'd be great, consider it, please. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-09-14 10:54:21] laruence@php.net 1. you can flush you output as soon as possible, then run other functions 2. you can using ajax 3. fpm has that ability: fastcgi_finish_request() but such function will be very limited, like it can not output anything. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-09-12 15:08:28] zdexter_cds at hotmail dot com Edit: bug type changed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-09-12 15:04:40] zdexter_cds at hotmail dot com Description: ------------ I'm asking for a function as register_shutdown_function used to be, when it executed after client disconnects. Reason: Get faster responses to the user when some considerably 'slow' process might be executed in background, after processes. I know it could be done by some custom function, as well as it's possible through Output Control Buffers Functions, but it's more code to write, more commands to be processed by server and it'd 'conflict' with output_buffering setting from php.ini so you'd also need to manage it. Also, the current function could be simulated easier than the old one, but it's the one chosen. It can easily be done by you, as it's just copy & paste, so I hope it's implemented. Thanks in advance. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63072&edit=1
