note 89177 added to features.connection-handling

A simple but useful packaging of arr1's suggestion for continuing processing after telling the the browser that output is finished. I always redirect when a request requires some processing (so we don't do it twice on refresh) which makes things easy... function redirect_and_continue($sURL) { header( "Location: ".$sURL ) ; ob_end_clean(); //arr1s code header("Connection: close"); ignore_user_abort(); ob_start(); header("Content-Length: 0"); ob_end_flush(); flush(); // end arr1s code session_write_close(); // as pointed out by Anonymous } Of course this wont work if the output has started - but the a simple redirect wouldn't work anyway.
