Bug compatibility sounds like a feature from a special company in Redmond, WA. ;-) > Any particular reason you can't use a standard PHP module to implement > this?

If there is any other way, just tell me. It would be especially useful, if the shutdown function would be actually called at shutdown time. -- Regards, Sascha Schumann Consultant
