PHP's connection handling

I'm writing download counter application. I would like to add a speciall functio0nality that determines wheater download was sucess or not. The only one solution how to do it I found is PHP's connection handling. I'm getting connection status via connection_status() function which is call in function that have been registred as ahutdown function: function mail_status() { mail("me@me.com", "connection", connection_status()); } register_shutdown_function("mail_status"); Then I send header that tell browser to establish download: header("Content-Type: application/zip"); And then I'm trying to send output which i read from DB(size of 10KB): echo $content; All works well, but when i hit cancel button in download dialog window status is NORMAL and not ABORTED. When i put this instead of line before it returns ABORTED. for($i=0;$i<10000;$i++){ echo $i; }; So ... how could I recognize if Cancel button was pressed in download dialog window ??? ------------------------------------------------------------- Milan Mlynarcik Web Programmer Charmed Technology Slovakia Nam. sv.
