apache_child_terminate

(PHP 4 >= 4.0.5, PHP 5, PHP 7)

Terminate apache process after this request

bool apache_child_terminate ( void )

apache_child_terminate() will register the Apache process executing the current PHP request for termination once execution of PHP code is completed. It may be used to terminate a process after a script with high memory consumption has been run as memory will usually only be freed internally but not given back to the operating system.

Returns:

Returns TRUE if PHP is running as an Apache 1 module, the Apache version is non-multithreaded, and the child_terminate PHP directive is enabled (disabled by default). If these conditions are not met, FALSE is returned and an error of level E_WARNING is generated.

Changelog:

5.4.0

This function became available under FastCGI. Previously, it was supported only when PHP was installed as an Apache module.

Notes:

This function is not implemented on Windows platforms.
