Ignore_user_abort

marzlarz

Ok, I need to check the settings of the ignore_user_abort flag and I keep hearing this " check the php3.ini file" . Well im on a Unix box and there is no php3.ini file. What do I do ??? is there a php binary?? Im not famiiliar with PHP at all as you can tell :-)

Check:

/etc/php3/apache/

or something like that (might vary with distrobution) there is a php.ini file in there. (Yes *nix systems use ini files as well).

Checked /etc ... no apache or php3 diretories. Also did a search on php.ini ... none found. It looks like this box has php4 on it... anymore suggestions?

Does the PHP installation work? If so, call phpinfo() in a script..... it will tell you the path to php.ini (or php3.ini if you're running PHP3). It will also tell you the current state of the flag (On or Off).

The ignore_user_abort flag can also be over-riden from it's default value on a script by script or directory wide basis. To over-ride for a single script, place the following code at the top of that script:

  ini_set("ignore_user_abort", "Off/On");

On a directory wide basis you can either do it with a .htaccess file or by placing a section for that directory in httpd.conf. The value used, in either case, to over-ride is:

  php_value ignore_user_abort Off/On

HTH.

do a locate on php4. I always thought that php4.ini was standard. Also look in the apache directory... I think some distros but it in there. The only other thing I can thing to look for would be like a php4.conf or something. Do a locate on php4 and see what happens.

Ok, I found the php.ini file . So to set ignore_user_abort to ON. what is the syntax I would use in the file, and where in the file would I put it???

If you've done it in php.ini, it's server wide and you don't need to worry about the files. I included the files options in case you didn't have access to php.ini.
