Description:
------------
I'm asking for a function as register_shutdown_function used to be, when it 
executed after client disconnects.

Reason: Get faster responses to the user when some considerably 'slow' process 
might be executed in background, after processes.

I know it could be done by some custom function, as well as it's possible 
through Output Control Buffers Functions, but it's more code to write, more 
commands to be processed by server and it'd 'conflict' with output_buffering 
setting from php.ini so you'd also need to manage it.

Also, the current function could be simulated easier than the old one, but it's 
the one chosen.

It can easily be done by you, as it's just copy & paste, so I hope it's 
implemented.

Thanks in advance.

1. you can flush you output as soon as possible, then run other functions
2. you can using ajax
3. fpm has that ability: fastcgi_finish_request()

but such function will be very limited, like it can not output anything.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.Even if you flush, request still waits till header "close" and full size of data is received, so request is still open, but it's a way to partially solve the problem.

2. It'd generate undisered requests to server, it's more like a jerry-rig to something could be solved in just one step.

3. If fpm has it, php could have it by default in other cases too.

"but such function will be very limited, like it can not output anything."
I know, but it'd be great, consider it, please.

Bumping this feature, since I don't understand the use of register_shutdown_function being used as part of request.

If you want a function to be part of request, just put it before exit or in the request, right?

But if you want a function after the request you need to use Output Control Functions, which makes you code unecessary text to control header lenght, a thing most devs won't want because php already does it automatically, turning ur code big and poor since it was not needed with rsf original functionality.

Also, with apache compression ob functions won't work, so it's a lot of work to just reproduce a function which had some functionality and now has basicly none, since u can just put the functions at the end of script, the other case is not possible, you need to change the start, mid and end of script.

You can close this request, it was a long time ago n I hadn't test n dind't know correctly the essence of such things like fastcgi_finish_request() in that time. Thanks!
