nayanjyotionline Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Hi, I have a mail script to that will take a long time to process, let me call it form2.php Now I post from form1.php to form2.php. I like to run/execute the form2.php in the background so that the user will not wait for the time executing the form2.php. I have used exec and shell_exec but not success. I am using latest WAMP server in my local mechine.

joel24 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 what kind of data are you processing in the form? unless it's a large amount of data (movies, large files etc) there will be minimal waiting time. you can use ajax to post the form and then display a loading image and return a response when the server has finished executing the PHP script.

joel24 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 how are you sending these mails? have a look around at some of the mass mailing / bulk emailing classes. you can set up a cronjob to send the emails at a later time. there are plenty of mass-mailing articles & resources on the web, google is your friend.
