No I don't think so. finally clause is used to clean up resources allocated/initialized by the code inside try clause. All the above functions will terminate the script and thus all the resources that were allocated will be freed. If you so something more persistent, then a) use shutdown functions b) know that the script can be killed at any moment anyway, so PHP can not guarantee you anything. I don't see how finally ever implied it would be called on die(). > Basically this requires that all of the actions that are currently > fatal need to be converted to exceptions. E.g.

So basically this requires that PHP will be converted to Python. ;) I'd almost write an RFC but then I remembered somebody already wrote Python! :) -- Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/ (408)454-6900 ext. 227 -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
