Hi, my PHP version is PHP 5.2.4-2. I was according to the example in page ( pcntl_alarm() function doc page ) http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.pcntl-alarm.php <http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.pcntl-alarm.php>In that page, the register_tick_function() does not register any function, and it's work on that example in above URI. In my try and error experiment, I think the SIGALRM does not trigger because we called popen() function. Could anyone help ?
