Stop PHP utterly!

[ScareCrowe]

Is there a way to stop the PHP cgi completely?
I made a typo and got caught in an infinite loop. Usually I can wait until
the execution time expires and fix the script but this time it kept going
and going and going!
I keep a log for error reporting and it went from 0 bytes to 8 megs until I
finally just rebooted the server! I also tried pausing/stopping the web
server. The max time for scripts is 60 seconds. I am wondering if there is a
function that pretty much just stops PHP dead in it's tracks and forces it
to reset itself or if there is a command line I can throw it to make it
stop?

Thanks,

Are you using Linux or Windows?

Linux:
$> ps
$> kill pid

Windows:
Ctrl + Alt + Del

I suggest implementing something like:

if($logged_errors_total > 10)
die("Too many errors. Check error log and fix bugs.");

in your loop or error logging logic for development only.

If you don't want to do that, then you could just kill the process manually.
Use your favorite process manager on Windows/*n?x or for *n?x just type
"kill [php_process_id]" without quotes or brackets.

If you don't want to do that, then you could just kill the process manually. Use your favorite process manager on Windows/*n?x or for *n?x just type
"kill [php_process_id]" without quotes or brackets.

I'm using windows and I did try to kill the process with task manager, but
the php.exe was not listed!
I am still a little confused about what happened because it has always
stopped after the max time expired.
I am thinking it was a glitch because when I rebooted the server and ran the
script again it worked fine!?!

Are you sure you don’t have a statement in your script that disables
auto timeout. It is of the form:
set_time_limit(0);

Maybe it's under one of the system services or something, if it's through
IIS. If it's Apache, it may be an Apache process. In either case, you can
easily tell by processor/memory usage; or, alternatively, use a more
comprehensive process manager.
