FW: [PHP] How to detect a PHP script time-out?

Can some one with CVS access please fix this as the details about register-shutdown-function and output to the buffer are incorrect as I have just been told since 4.1 and I have been advising users as per the documentation.

That's not right now. The manual is outdated. See this bug report http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=15209. This behavior was changed from 4.06 to 4.1. In newer versions of php the registered functions will run before the connection is closed so ouptput can be done from there as well. So Jean you can make it as it is suggested on this page: http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.connection-handling.php Arpi -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
