You're telling PHP that you don't give a damn if someone tries to quit, you're going to continue anyway. You storm trooper, you. If PHP is instructed to ignore the user's (futile) attempts to abort, why should it try to gentlemanly and politely respect a shutdown function? Essentially, you're damning it to zombiehood. -- </Daniel P.
