PHP http handling

Question

Is there a way to prevent a php script from sending a http response when the script is finished executing? If not in php is it possible in any-other common web scripting langues?

could you give more details of what you're trying to achieve? — andyface

What would you want to happen instead? Let the browser hang there wasting one of its TCP/IP threads waiting for a response until the connection times out? — Quentin

I believe that would be something controlled by the web server, not the scripting language.

Agreed. PHP just terminate the script. Then Apache replies back to the client to send "no data" in addition to a header 200 OK.

assuming no headers have been sent, just die();

No, but you can send a http 204 (No Content).
