Hello all, Does anyone know if shell_exec waits to have whatever it was passed to be executed before returning to the script?
I am asking that because I need to write a script to compact files to a zip and then have it e-mailed to a predefined address. The files it will compact might have a considerable size and since this script will be triggered by a web page I wonder if shell_exec would be executed as a separate thread or if it will be the same one. For me, the ideal thing was to have it wait for the command to be over. Any suggestions?
