Re: [SMARTY-DEV] Re: [SMARTY] Cache cleanup

It seems that register_shutdown_function() is broken. We had better not rely on it. http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=15209 Monte Ohrt wrote:

It looks like register_shutdown_function() might do the trick for us anyways (?) So no need for an external script. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.register-shutdown-function.php However, I see that the behavior isn't correct on Apache for windows (see the second user contributed note) Monte Ivo Jansch wrote:

The external file has to know your environment: where template_dir and cache_dir is for example. It basically needs the smarty object passed to it, so it would be better to include the script and call a function. But then we're back to the processing time issue.

You could also pass these as parameters to the external script. What also might be a solution is to create a cronscript example that you distribute with Smarty. But ofcourse, if Smarty could handle it, that would be nicer (as long as performance isn't affected).
