I know that to do this somehow ignore_user_abort should probably be set to true for the purpose of the script itself. Then something could be done...but I wonder along with you, is there a way to tell the client "That's all there is! stop waiting!" *scratches head* Perhaps the outbut buffer may be part of the answer? Perhaps PHP could use ob_start, then use ob_get_length to see how how much content must be sent. Then send a header with the content length, and clear the buffer. Could that perhaps make apache end the session? Or perhaps some socket use to forcefully close the connection, but that may make apache angry and create some errors...but then again, it probably wouldn't. This would answer all kinds of problems with mail() slowing down a script, or sleep() use, etc. Anyone have other theories or better yet, a solution? This would allow me to have _so_ much fun playing around with the possibilities, no matter how intensive it'd have to be. Does any other language have something exactly like this? Like Perl/C CGI, ASP, or JSP? Or is this purely a question of web-server support? -- Plutarck Should be working on something... ...but forgot what it was.
