Hello there,
I'm having a somewhat unusual question here, and I cannot find any
way to solve it.
I have a PHP page that displays a message, and then, performs a
very long operation. Note that it displays the message first.
I do not intend to give some feedback to the user when the
operation is done.
I've seen I can use ignore_user_abort() to prevent the user from
stopping the ongoing operation, but that solves only part of my
problem. Because as long as the page is not fully loaded, the mouse
cursor in the user's browser is showing a watch.
So ideally, what I would like is to be able to close the connection
from the server-side, but without using the exit() function, so my
script keeps running afterwards.
I know I could use a system() call to launch another process to do
the processing, but I would like to avoid doing that, because there
are many variables in the context that I cannot easily pass in
parameter.
I also tried to use the register_shutdown_function() to perform my
operation after the page is displayed but since PHP 4.1.0, the
connection is closed after the function is called....
Would any of you have an idea on how I could close that connection?
Thanks a lot,
David
