Very interesting question....

Hi, someone today asked me a very interesting question: For example, if I have a very heavy query called from a php script, one that could take arround 50 seconds in getting executed. If for some reason the user hits the stop button before the 50 seconds have passed the query will finish but when it sees that there's no client nothing will happen. That is a very big loss of speed and performance. Is there a way that when the user hits the stop button it inmediatelly terminates the query without waiting to thew query to finish? That's possible with ASP and the question is that is possible with php. thanks. -- --------------------------------- Juan Luis Baptiste M.
