note 60119 added to function.pcntl-signal

When you want to stop a CLI script by a keyboard interupt then you should use SIGINT. Example script: #!/usr/bin/php5 <?php // tick use required as of PHP 4.3.0 declare(ticks = 1); // signal handler function function sig_handler($signo) { switch ($signo) { case SIGINT: // handle shutdown tasks echo "Keyboard pressed...\n"; exit; break; default: // handle all other signals } } echo "Installing signal handler...\n"; // setup signal handlers pcntl_signal(SIGINT, "sig_handler"); // or use an object, available as of PHP 4.3.0 // pcntl_signal(SIGUSR1, array($obj, "do_something"); // Just a stupid simple loop for ($i = 1; $i <= 10; $i++){ echo "."; sleep(1); } echo "Done\n" ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.pcntl-signal.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+60119 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60119&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60119&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60119&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60119&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60119&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60119&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60119&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+60119&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
