Re: Register_Shutdown_Function ??

It doesn't matter. I'm setting the output *not* to the browser, but to the command shell, where I am running the script from. If you look at the errors, you'll see 2 of them, one points to line 7, where the IF() command is -- the script terminates there... I've put error_log() and exec() functions in place of the print() function -- it doesn't make a difference -- the script just won't execute the function in the register_shutdown_function() -- The following script works great (see below) -- it seems that for some reason its a TIMEOUT issue (bug). Running the script below, I will get the output of the print() function -- as stated, from the command line. I understand that it wouldn't show up in the browser. If I replace the "exit;" command with say a "while(1);" where the script will loop indefinitely, the timeout, set by the set_time_limit(1) will stop the script, but again -- register_shutdown_function() seems to "want to work" as the function IS CALLED, but NEVER executed, and instead errors on the 1st line in the FUNCTION -- always on a TIMEOUT. Run this script from your command line (ie. C:>php test.php) -- then change the "set_time_limit(30)" to "set_time_limit(1)", and replace the "exit" with a "while(1)" -- run the script again, you'll see what I mean. And, if you still don't believe me, replace the print() in the function with "error_log('Script Terminated', 3, 'errorlog.txt');" and see if the "errorlog.txt" file is ever created -- it isn't. <? set_time_limit(30); function clean_up() { print("Script Terminated"); } register_shutdown_function("clean_up"); exit; ?> If anyone can offer any reason why its doing this, please help -- thanks.
