Um, no, I understand that. I have a database connection in that child process, and it's represented by a row in a table. When the connection is closed, I want the row to be deleted first.
The connection will close when the handle goes out of scope, but for global handles that doesn't happen at the right time. So I'd like to have an END block kicked off when the child exits (not when the request completes, that's too soon; not when the server exits, that's too late).
What I may be missing is just what happens to a child when you do a "killall -HUP httpd"; I believe the child exits and a new one takes its place. However, the END blocks are not run, apparently.
