Can PHP trap signals? Trapping a signal would be the
only way to do something when the user hits the stop
button. If not, you have several options:
1) Hack PHP to add the signal trapping functionality.
Should not be super hard.
2) Do not lock the tables, and think of a some trick to
ensure table integrity
3) Use a language that can trap signals for the part of
the code in question. My understanding is that you can
load a shared library and call C functions from PHP.
