# apache_child_terminate

(PHP 4 >= 4.0.5)

apache_child_terminate -- Terminate apache process after this request

## Description

bool apache_child_terminate ( void)

apache_child_terminate() will register the Apache process executing the current PHP request for termination once execution of PHP code it 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.

> Note: The availability of this feature is controlled by the `php.ini` directive `apache.child_terminate`, which is set to `off` by default.

> This feature is also not available on multithreaded versions of apache like the win32 version.
