php proc close,PHP: proc_terminate - Manual

on Windows platform proc_terminate() does not kill sub-processes that are not handling kill signals. It happens even if you call xxx.exe and call proc_terminate() the process will remain active.

The solution is instead of calling proc_terminate() is to call the user-defined kill() function (already win/unix optimized)

After that need to close all pipes and execute proc_close().

function kill($pid){

return stripos(php_uname('s'), 'win')>-1  ? exec("taskkill /F /T /PID $pid") : exec("kill -9 $pid");

}

function killall($pids) {

$os=stripos(php_uname('s'), 'win')>-1;

($_=implode($os?' /PID ':' ',$pids)) or ($_=$pids);

return preg_match('/success|close/', $os ? exec("taskkill /F /T /PID $_") : exec("kill -9 $_"));

}

Example:

$pstatus = proc_get_status($resource);

$PID = $pstatus['pid'];

// other commands

kill($PID); // instead of proc_terminate($resource);

fclose($pipes[0]);

fclose($pipes[1]);

fclose($pipes[2]);

proc_close($resource);
