I *THINK* ignore_user_abort() is only useful with some browsers... Or, perhaps, it relies on Apache figuring out that the connection is dead, and reporting back to PHP, and there's a fair amount of time-lag in that process... Or, perhaps, it never really worked very well... All I now for sure is that I have this vague idea in my head that it's just not something you can really rely on. It's still convenient to kill lengthy processes, but not for mission-critical knowledge of the HTTP status. If you *NEED* to be sure, I think you're stuck with Java applet/servelet setup, from what I hear. (Strictly heresay.) -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
