Re: PHP Denial of service

I have just run a phpinfo and ignore_user_abort is indeed defaulting to off. It's a pretty heavy php-MySQL script. I noticed on scripts without the MySQL interaction, the server can keep up much better with the forced refreshes. Are there any other liming settings I can change?

Robert, Thanks for the reply. I can't seem to find ignore_user_abort in my php.ini. I would like to do it at server level, rather than individual scripts. Do you know roughly where is it? I think there were some versions with this missing in the ini, which was later fixed. I'm guessing that if ignore_user_abort is set to on, this could be the culprit? Would simply adding the following to the ini work?: ignore_user_abort = off

If it's not in your php.ini and not in your source code then it's already off, unless it's being activated by an http.conf or .htaccess setting. The default for ignore_user_abort is 0. What exactly does your script do? It may be possible that whatever task it is performing prevents PHP from immediately recognizing the user abort and subsequently terminating. Cheers, Rob.
