note 78805 added to function.pcntl-fork

QUOTE from arnold at helderhosting dot nl: It is not possible to use the function 'pcntl_fork' when PHP is used as Apache module. You can only use pcntl_fork in CGI mode or from command-line. Using this function will result in: 'Fatal error: Call to undefined function: pcntl_fork()' ============================================== This is not true. I already had to use pcntl_fork() from PHP running as an Apache module so I know. By default, pcntl is disabled when php is compiled as an apache module, which is to be expected. Forking in an apache module is rather complex, and one of the most important things you should remember is to let your child kill himself with SIGKILL. If you just call exit(), you might end having duplicate headers. Forking from an Apache module is NOT RECOMMANDED unless you know what you do and fully understand how apache works. ---- Server IP: 217.174.196.197 Probable Submitter: 193.253.141.80 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.pcntl-fork.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/78805 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78805/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78805/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78805/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78805/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78805/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78805/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78805 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/78805 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
