Description:
------------
If STDOUT and/or STDERR are closed, output by the php script cause the interpreter to exit immediately.
According to strace output, php tries to write to the closed STDOUT file handle, causing a "Bad file descriptor" error and exit of the interpreter:
[...]
close(1) = 0
[...]
write(1, "foo", 3) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor)
close(0) = 0
close(2) = 0
[...]
exit_group(0) = ?
Process 19177 detached
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
fclose(STDOUT);
print "foo";
sleep(10);
?>
Expected result:
----------------
No output, php sleeping for 10 seconds.
Actual result:
--------------
php exits immediately, strace shows an "Bad file descriptor" on the write() try to STDOUT:
[...]
read(3, "<?php\nfclose(STDOUT);\n\nprint \"fo"..., 8192) = 51
read(3, "", 4096) = 0
read(3, "", 8192) = 0
close(3) = 0
munmap(0x2b1dce200000, 4096) = 0
close(1) = 0
munmap(0x2b1dce202000, 4096) = 0
write(1, "foo", 3) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor)
close(2) = 0
close(0) = 0
munmap(0x2b1dce201000, 4096) = 0
munmap(0x2b1dce1bf000, 266240) = 0
mmap(NULL, 266240, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x2b1dce1bf000
setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, {it_interval={0, 0}, it_value={0, 0}}, NULL) = 0
munmap(0x2b1dce1bf000, 266240) = 0
brk(0xd36000) = 0xd36000
exit_group(0) = ?

The solution to stopping this output is rather simple. After you close the stdin/stdout/stderr open 3 new file descriptors to /dev/null and all output goes bye bye. eg. fclose(STDIN); fclose(STDOUT); fclose(STDERR); $fp1 = fopen('/dev/null', 'r'); $fp2 = fopen('/dev/null', 'w'); $fp3 = fopen('/dev/null', 'w');I guess what you are asking for is something like this to happen when you close STDOUT dup2(open("/dev/null", O_WRONLY), 1);
