register_shutdown_function AND fastcgi_finish_request

In php, the two methods are executed when the request is about to end. The method names are register_shutdown_function and fastcgi_finish_request respectively. Although the timing of execution is similar, the functions and application scenarios are different. Comparing the differences between the two methods is not the focus of this article. The focus of this article is to explain the application scenarios of the two methods.

register_shutdown_function

Function:

Register a method. When a request request is executed, the registered method is called. Note that even if an error occurs during execution and this request is forced to exit, the registered method will still be executed.

Application scenario 1:

You can use its features to capture some detailed information of some errors. The sample code is as follows:

<span>function</span><span> catch_error(){
</span><span>$error</span> =<span> error_get_last();
</span><span>if</span>(<span>$error</span><span>){
</span><span>var_dump</span>(<span>$error</span><span>);
}
}
</span><span>register_shutdown_function</span>("catch_error"<span>);
</span><span>ini_set</span>('memory_limit','1M'<span>);
</span><span>$content</span> = <span>str_repeat</span>("aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa",100000<span>);
</span><span>echo</span> "aa";

The output information is as follows:

array(4) { ["type"]=> int(1) ["message"]=> string(80) "Allowed memory size of 1048576 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 2300001 bytes)" ["file"]=> string(39) "/test.php" ["line"]=> int(13) }

As you can see, the above The code catches out-of-memory errors normally.

Application scenario 2
Check whether the request is closed normally. The sample code is as follows:

<span>function</span><span> monitor(){
</span><span>global</span><span>$is_end</span><span>;
</span><span>if</span>(<span>$is_end</span> == <span>true</span><span>){
</span><span>echo</span> "success"<span>;
}</span><span>else</span><span>{
</span><span>echo</span> "fail"<span>;
}
}
</span><span>register_shutdown_function</span>("monitor"<span>);
</span><span>$is_end</span> = <span>false</span><span>;
</span><span>die</span><span>();
</span><span>$is_end</span> = <span>true</span>;

The page output result is: fail

It is visible, even if the die function is called. The registered monitor function also executes normally.

fastcgi_finish_request

Function:
flush data to the client. After calling this method, any output content will not be output to the client.

Application scenario:

If part of the processing content of a request does not need to be sent to the client, you can first generate the content output to the client, and then call this method. After the method is called, the content will be output to the client. Content that does not need to be output to the client can be placed after this method. This improves responsiveness. The sample code is as follows:

<span>echo</span> "a"<span>;
fastcgi_finish_request();
</span><span>echo</span> "b"<span>;
</span><span>file_put_contents</span>("/tmp/test","abc.com"<span>);
</span><span>die</span><span>();
</span><span>file_put_contents</span>("/tmp/test2","测试数据");

The page output result is: a
It can be seen that the echo "b" after the fastcgi_finish_request method is not output to the client. But you will find that files are created normally in the /tmp/test directory. But the /tmp/bo56 file was not created

The above introduces register_shutdown_function AND fastcgi_finish_request, including the relevant content. I hope it will be helpful to friends who are interested in PHP tutorials.
