this is a tested :) patch, eg. it appears to work, sample text-class-pcntl.php included at bottom

This is really irritating...
Tried the patch/fix provided, to no avail! :(
Tested in 4.1.2 and also latest 4.2 public RC (30/03/2002).
Simpler test scenario... Doesnt work.. no errors, no callbacks :(

Also tried setting class vars from outside class, e.g:
  pcntl_signal(SIGTERM, array(&$signal, "display_signal"));
after defining class.. no good either! :(

<?
class signalClass {

 function display_signal($signo) {
  echo "** $signo **\n";
  flush();
  exit();
 }

 function define_signals() {

  pcntl_signal(SIGTERM, array(&$this, "display_signal"));
  pcntl_signal(SIGHUP, array(&$this, "display_signal"));
  pcntl_signal(SIGINT, array(&$this, "display_signal"));
 }
}

$signal = new signalClass();
$signal->define_signals();

while(1) {
  // do something here..
  sleep(1);
}
?>

But this works as expected.. :(

<?

 function display_signal($signo) {
  echo "** $signo **\n";
  flush();
  exit();
 }


  pcntl_signal(SIGTERM, "display_signal");
  pcntl_signal(SIGHUP, "display_signal");
  pcntl_signal(SIGINT, "display_signal");

  while(1) {
   // do something here..
   sleep(1);
  }
?>

Alan, can you send a diff -u to php-dev@ against latest CVS ?

No feedback was provided for this bug for over a month, so it is

I will look at this soon promise...

testing and working patch has been posted to php-dev

assigning to jason :)

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

In case this was a PHP problem, snapshots of the sources are packaged
every three hours; this change will be in the next snapshot. You can
grab the snapshot at http://snaps.php.net/.
 
In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up soon at
http://www.php.net/manual/.

In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show
up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites in short time.
 
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.

Implemented and scheduled for 4.3.X.

-Jason
