note 93466 added to function.pcntl-fork

A workaround for the MySQL "Lost Connection during query", or any other object related problems caused by children exiting is to force the child to kill -9 itself, thus avoiding any cleanup. Sure - it's not too elegant, but it does work. <?php $pid = pcntl_fork(); if ( $pid == 0 ) { // This is the child process. Do something here. // Instead of calling exit(), we use posix_kill() posix_kill(getmypid(),9); } ?> Watch out that you don't spawn too many processes though as this creates its own problems. ---- Server IP: 91.199.167.18 Probable Submitter: 94.100.112.225 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.pcntl-fork.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/93466 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93466/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93466/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93466/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93466/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93466/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93466/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93466 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/93466 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
