<div><br></div><div>An alternative approach which was possible in the past was to use <a href="http://php.net/register-shutdown-function" target="_blank">http://php.net/register-shutdown-function</a> to handle the request 'cleanup' (which is what I assume you are trying to do) - but since PHP 4.1 this stuff is no longer possible because now this can also send output to the client. Assuming you have a newer PHP... which is highly likely... you could try this instead:<br>
<br><?php<br>ob_end_clean();<br>header("Connection: close");<br>ignore_user_abort(); // optional<br>ob_start();<br>echo ('Text the user will see');<br>$size = ob_get_length();<br>header("Content-Length: $size");<br>
ob_end_flush(); // Strange behaviour, will not work<br>flush(); // Unless both are called !<br>// Do processing here<br>sleep(30);<br>echo('Text user will never see');<br>?><br><br></div><div>( Shamelessly copied from <a href="http://php.net/connection-handling" target="_blank">http://php.net/connection-handling</a> )<br>
</div><div><br></div><div>The idea is to buffer all the response in memory, then measure the buffer size of the response, then tell that to the server/client, and also let the connection to not support keep-alive. Then throw everything to the client. Since the response is of a given size, and the server/client has got all of it, it has nothing to do further with the server, so it has no reason not to close the socket.<br>
