Forcing a Redirect.

[Sharky01276]

I have a piece of code that takes a long time to run, just over one min.

 

I want to be able to force php to redirect to another page and keep this code running in the background.

I have tried using

 

header("Location: http://192.168.96.110/lcr/callhandlingmaint.php");

 

But the redirect is only run after the one minuite of code has taken place.

 

Any ideas or suggestions. Thanks in advance

Not sure how you intend to reply, but you could use some form of 'eval' to start a system process in a seperate thread, for example if your logging etc...

Sharky, when you run a header redirect, you're actually messing with the HTTP headers, so this code will not be processed until the header information starts being passed through to the browser (in other words, when your PHP is through being processed). So, you'll have to find another way to get it done. If you're simply wanting to trigger a background operation to run, I'd recommend using some sort of AJAX (Javascript HTTP Request) to get the background activity started. That way, you are, in essence, running it as a completely separate server call from what the user is currently viewing.
