mgrayson Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 We had sign-up on our website that was taking too long (1 minute) to execute an array of procedures at checkout for new users... So we... (1) Put the bulk of procedures in another file (i.e. BehindTheScenes.php) (2) Call this file (i.e. BehindTheScenes.php) to run in the background after checkout of a user by adding this line in our confirmation page... exec("/usr/bin/php ./BehindTheScenes.php > /dev/null 2>&1 &"); Issues...we tested 4 sign-ups seconds apart and only the first session/checkout is executing BehindTheScenes.php properly...which tells me that "instances", many unique processes of BehindTheScenes.php are not being executed... Is there another way to fork/execute this properly so BehindTheScenes.php can be "forked"...many instances/processes can run at the same time?
