note 100859 deleted from function.register-shutdown-function by crell

Note Submitter: david dot schueler at tel-billig dot de ---- I had a problem when forking a child process and accessing the variables by using the "global" keyword in the shutdown function. So i used another way for getting the variables to the shutdown function: I passed them by reference. Example: <?php function shutdown_function (&$test) { echo __FUNCTION__.'(): $test = '.$test."\n"; } $test = 1; register_shutdown_function('shutdown_function', &$test); echo '$test = '.$test."\n"; // do some stuff and change the variable values $test = 2; // now the shutdown function gets called exit(0); ?> Maybe tis helps someone. (I'm using PHP 5.2.11)
