Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=44217&edit=1 ID: 44217 Comment by: robberphex at gmail dot com Reported by: exe at travian dot org Summary: Output after stdout/stderr closed cause immediate exit Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: Filesystem function related Operating System: * PHP Version: 5.*, 6CVS (2009-01-21) Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: When ignore_user_abort is 0, php should exit with non-zero code: https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/3306 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-07-23 22:41:57] jani@php.net See bug #48803, using ignore_user_abort=1 "fixes" this for you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-06-28 19:35:29] work at anomalizer dot net I guess what you are asking for is something like this to happen when you close STDOUT dup2(open("/dev/null", O_WRONLY), 1); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-04-27 13:40:51] duane at e164 dot org The solution to stopping this output is rather simple. After you close the stdin/stdout/stderr open 3 new file descriptors to /dev/null and all output goes bye bye. eg. fclose(STDIN); fclose(STDOUT); fclose(STDERR); $fp1 = fopen('/dev/null', 'r'); $fp2 = fopen('/dev/null', 'w'); $fp3 = fopen('/dev/null', 'w'); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-02-25 11:54:22] exe at travian dot org I'd expect php to discard every output after STDOUT is closed, instead of doing a silent exit (which is hard to track because no error handler or shutdown function is called). Another option (if output in this situation is considered to be an error) would be to trigger a warning/fatal and/or call the shutdown function. This would, at least, make it possible to track this issue. I have to close STDOUT and STDERR in a daemonized processes to detach from the controlling terminal. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-02-24 00:40:01] jani@php.net Another bug #44218 describes some more expected behaviour caused by closing the input/output streams.
