Arguments

Description

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.

Version

PHP 4.0.5, 5

Return value

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