Aborting PHP scripts with infinite loops - URGENT

[monkle]

Hello

I need to know if there is a way to kill a php script that is caught in an infinite loop after it has started. Somehow I missed incrementing in the loop before I started running it.

This is extremely urgent, as it is adding records to the database. I caught on when I realized that there were still lots of records in the database immediately after I deleted them

Yes, I feel like an idiot for missing this. I'm currently searching the web for any info on it, but if anyone knows of a way to do it, I would greatly appreciate it.

Not to help with your particular problem... but to give you the tools to kill processes which are access denied and the like, you may want to check out the tools at this site...

I was shocked to realize that the script was continuing to run after I shut down the web server, to put it mildly. I don't understand that at all.

I would be rather happy if we were running apache on Linux. Unfortunately, I think I'd have a bit of a time talking my boss into migrating, since there was already a bunch of stuff done in the current system before I got here.
