register_shutdown_function and timeouts

[alex bazan]

I came across this function as i got a problem with very long-running
scripts which use transactions...

in the php manual i do not see clearly stated if the function defined
will be executed if a timeout is reached.

It states:
"Registers the function named by function to be executed when script
processing is complete."

So what happens when the script processing is uncomplete because of a
timeout?

In case the function does not get executed, is there a way to execute a
function on timeout??

The function you specify with register_shutdo wn_function gets executed
on timeout or exit. Just note you cannot echo or print anything anymore
after a timeout occured.
