Description:
------------
on cli environment, when the stdout of php becomes unavailable, eg: user run php in background and logged out of their ssh connection.
a echo statement will cause php process to exit immediately!

strace output:

14937 12:22:18.958295 write(1, "running\n", 8) = -1 EIO (Input/output error)

then php just silently quit!

Thanks for the report. When user is logged out, the whole session becomes invalid. This should be solvable by using nohup or running PHP in screen/tmux.

Thanks.

er, my point is： may be the php process shouldn't quit if echo failed.

the fail of fprintf  does not cause php to quit? why echo is so special and so fragile?

example:
fprintf.php
<?php
fprintf(STDOUT, "hello, world\n");
fclose(STDOUT);
fprintf(STDOUT, "hello, world2\n");
fprintf(STDERR, "hello, world2 in stderr\n");

output:
hello, world
PHP Warning:  fprintf(): 2 is not a valid stream resource in /tmp/t.php on line 4
hello, world2 in stder


however, if change fprintf to echo, php will quit early.
