note 60108 added to function.register-shutdown-function

re:codeslinger at compsalot dot com fork() is actually creating 2 processes from one. So there is no surprise register_shutdown_function will be executed per each process. I think you have reported this as a bug and now in php 5.1.0 when you exit from child process, it does not execute it. Well, what are you going to do if you have something to register for forked process? I hope php will be more stable near soon! codeslinger at compsalot dot com 03-Feb-2005 09:22 Here is a nice little surprise to keep in mind... If you register a shutdown function for your main program. And then you fork() a child. Guess What? When the child exits it will run the code that was intended for the main program. This can be a really bad thing ;-) Happily there is a simple work-around. All you need to do is to create a global variable such as: $IamaChild = [TRUE | FALSE]; and have your shutdown function check the value... ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.register-shutdown-function.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+60108 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60108&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60108&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60108&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60108&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60108&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60108&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60108&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+60108&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
