You pretty much have to use a shutdown function for this though. By default a PHP script will terminate if the listener goes away. That is, if someone starts loading the page and hits Stop or shuts down their browser before you have written all your output, your script is terminated as soon as it detects this so it is unlikely to ever run your cleanup code in that case. You need to register_shutdown_function() if you have a critical cleanup thing that must be run, or you need to force ignore_user_abort on in your config or at the beginning of your script to make sure you are not aborted halfway through. -Rasmus -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
