register_shutdown_function() question in regards to bug #8395

Been chatting with Oriol. I'd like to run this buy everyone and see if my assumption is correct. Please see http://bugs.php.net?id=8395 for more info. My comments from a previous email. >I can reproduce this with php 4.0.2 and php 4.0.4 on Win2K. I firmly believe >that this is because of PHP being a CGI. Cause if you think about it for a >second it makes sense (and now that the holidays are coming to a close I can >think =) ). > >What happens when you call a CGI script?(simplified) > >(HTTP)Request->(CGI)Request->Action->Cleanup->(HTTP)Cleanup > >The last cleanup by the web server is able to display the shutdown information >because the shutdown(CGI->Cleanup) occurs BEFORE the connection with the client >is cut-off and HTTP->Cleanup. When PHP is part of the web server it has more >control over the HTTP->Cleanup state, whereas when it is a CGI it does not. Make >sense? > >There is nothing PHP can do running as CGI to prevent those print()'s from being >displayed on the browser, UNLESS PHP ignores them, which would not fly with alot >of people I'm guessing. I'm not quite sure this is really a bug, I was not able to reproduce it except for on Windows 2000/Apache 1.3.14. His production environment is Redhat ?.? with PHP running as a CGI. I have duplicated this environment and not been able to reproduce the problem. Chris Newbill Programmer/Analyst OneWest.net Inc.,
