Hi all,
I have a php application for which I have a page which creates
temporary junk and puts it into a persistent store (in this case a
postgres database, but that is beside the point.)
I have a Save button which puts the stuff I really want into the
persistent store and cleans up the temporary junk. I have a Cancel
button which only cleans up the temporary junk.
I would really like to have the cleanup code run anytime a user
leaves the page without hitting the Save button. Is there anyway to do
this? I.e. have php code called conditionally on exiting the page?
Thanks
Mary
I assume you looked at register_shutdown_function() and session_set_save_handler()
One way I handled this problem is to save the data in "cleanup" files. Then when
the page is called by a new client, a function checks the file's time stamp,
say if it's more than 10 minutes earlier, does the cleanup process.
This technique assumes that a new client will come along and that the cleanup
process(es) are fairly fast.
