The documentation claims a TRUE return in the case of a "successful exit", but that is misleading. If you read the unix man page for the underlying WIFEXITED() macro, you will find that it returns TRUE in the case of a "normal exit". In other words, this function returns TRUE if the child process ended by returning from main() or by calling an exit() function. It returns FALSE in other cases, such as when the child process was terminated with a signal. This function does not test the child's numeric exit code for success or failure. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.pcntl-wifexited.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+52713 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52713&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52713&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52713&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52713&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52713&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+52713&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
