Re: register_shutdown_function() question in regards to bug #8395

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)? Zeev At 18:46 26/12/2000, Chris Newbill wrote:

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?

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.
