time consuming scripts

altexis

ok.. here is one more I couldn't find

lets say you run a very time consuming script, or you get into an internal loop and the server goes crazy

the server will give up at the maximum execution time. but lets say the max execution time is very big...

if the client presses the Stop button from his web browser how does the server know about it?
is there a sort of time period that the server checks for cancelation of the execution by the client? or will it go on and on until it reaches the max execution time?

Yes most settings in the php.ini for most Webhosts is roughly 30seconds. But most likely it could be a little less

AFAIK, if your press "Stop" on your browser, the browser will close its socket to the server. The server can detect that the socket has been closed, and kill that thread or process.

Yes... Diego you are very right indeed...

But still the server needs to send a ping to check for socket disconnections. At least this is what I believe.

I asked this question because I see my CPU working in 100% even when I close the browser. <planetsim>'s answer seems to be the right answer, after some time the CPU comes to normal again

I think you may want to look at "Connection handling" chapter of the manual, and here are some functions you would need:
connection_aborted()
connection_timeout()
connection_status()
