Stop PHP waiting for process to finish

Thanks for your reply.

Well I want the process to run in the background and do somethings that will take a while and I don't want the script to be loading for all the time. I've got the process to run in the background now I just can't get PHP to stop waiting for it to finish.

Thanks,
Sam

You could look at the [a href=\"http://www.php.net/pcntl_fork\" target=\"_blank\"]pcntl_fork[/a]() function and do the exec in the forked procedure. That script would wait for the execed procedure to finish before ending. You main script would have to wait until the forked script finishes before ending, but that could be at the very end of the script.

I've never used this myself, so YMMV.
