Redirect output

[The Little Guy]

Using Windows, how do you redirect the output, something similar to /dev/null?

 

I tried this:

shell_exec("php ./myScript.php arg1 arg2 arg3 >/dev/null");

 

but I am getting this error:

The system cannot find the path specified.

 

So, how do I redirect the output in Windows?

Okay, so I figured out it is this:

 

shell_exec("php ./pingDomain.php $domain $domain_id $date > NUL");

 

Now any ideas how to make it so it doesn't wait for the script to finish executing before it continues?

Fix:

 

$WshShell = new COM("WScript.Shell");
$oExec = $WshShell->Run("cmd /K php ./pingDomain.php $domain $domain_id $date", 0, false);
