Re: On register_shutdown_function: What might be the problem?

I want the http client see the page ( here y.html) immediately after I call header function, and then close the connectiion, and the function f running in the background. But trying many many times, the result seems that I have to either set the time limit to small to send the the html page sooner but also terminate the background running function which was registered as a shutdown function, or set the time to long enough for the shutdown function to finish while keeping the http client waiting until function return. I doubt that register_shutdown_function meant to behave this way by its design. I would like to find out what could be wrong of my code, configuration of php or apache? My Question is: What is the correct way to keep the function running after I redirect an existing page to http client (which I want the client get immediately) and then immediately close the connection? Thank you very much.

Given it's a fatal error, it's as bad as a syntax error. It cancels everything it's doing and leaves. Remember that, even the shutdown function has to obey the time limit. On 7/22/05, Liang ZHONG <little00wofl@hotmail.com> wrote: <?php set_time_limit(0); function f(){

When the time_limit is set to 5, the redirect page will be shown in 5 second and the ccc file is not created. The error from curl command line tool is as: --------------------------------------- <br /> <b>Fatal error</b>: Maximum execution time of 5 seconds exceeded in<b>/...../y.php</b> on line <b>6</b><br /> ---------------------------------------- What might be the problem that my register shudown function can not continuously run after the main program end? What is the correct way to keep the function running after I redirect a existing page to http client and then immediately close the connection?
