How to run background process in PHP

[sithik_frns]

Hi,

 

I have a PHP application in which I get data from users and validate them. On successful validation I should initiate a process which may take time to complete. So I need to execute the process in the background.

 

I tried exec and all. Unfortunately I can't bring what I need.

 

Can someone here help me in this regard?

 

Thanks in advance!

Split your script into smaller chunks and process it one at a time.

Thanks for your reply buddy.

 

I actually want to initiate a PHP script (Say 'Job A') in background on completion of a validation script (Say 'Validation'). Once Job A is initiated, Validation script will tell the visitor as 'Your request has been submitted' and this should not wait for Job A to complete its job.

 

Since there should not be any delay I dont want to use Crons.

To fork a process

<?php
exec("php /path/to/file.php > /dev/null &");
?>
