Thanks! I will have a look at that. Thanks, Sam

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

Hello, Is there a way to make PHP not wait for a process to finish when you start it from exec? or is there any other ways to start a process from PHP and for PHP not to wait? Thanks, Sam

I've been trying to pretect PHP files for a while and I couldn't afford ZEND but I found ioncube you don't have to buy the full thing you can but credits and encode your PHP files online so you don't have to spend $100s. Then you can just right a PHP script to check there registration and encode it and nobody will be able to edit it. I wouldn't bother having the SQL querys on your server since if the script can get 'em then the user can.

What I'm trying to do is send newsletters to a big list of people so I want it to run in the background 'cause it will take a while and I don't want to do it with the web browser incase I hit the stop button half way thru. How would I use exec() to start another PHP script? wouldn't I need the path to PHP? Thanks very much for your help.

I can't do that 'cause other script is going to run for a long time so I need it to run in the background hench can't do that but thanks for the answer tho.

Hello, This is I'm guessing a simple question so sorry but I couldn't find an answer anywhere. How can I execute a PHP script on windows from another PHP script? I know on linux you type PHP then the script name but on my windows computer it only works from command line when I type the full path to the directory with PHP in it, so is there a way to get PHP to tell me where it is or am I doing it all wrong? Thanks, Sam
