[PHP] Inline or not inline

2002-02-21 Thread Chris Wright

Hi

Is it possible to have PHP spawn a second process that will run
independently of the script that started it?

This is what I'm trying to do :

1 - page.php  browser calls it, starts to execute
2 - if (condition)  fetch information from server.x via http pipe, log
to database
3 - display page.php

The problem is, step 2 is at the mercy of the speed of server.x and
provides no value to the end user (i.e. it's just going into the db) so
they shouldn't be made to wait for it.

So what I'd like to do is have step 2 run and complete while step 3 is
taking place - the only way I can think is to do something controllable,
like create a 'to do' list for another script, then have a cron
processing the to do list automatically.  But there must be a better
way... 

The data coming from server.x is dynamic, and so needs to be collected
almost at the same time.

Any ideas?

Chris

Pretty simple question, I think:

I'm creating a PHP form and want to prevent users from entering the same

response in more than one form field.  How can I have the script check 
for identical fields on POST?

Thanks
  Dave

Zara:


If I have a user input a file in an html form for uploading, is there
any way
that I can pull the name of the file that was uploaded out some how?


If your file field is called the_file

$the_file_name
$the_file_type
$the_file_size

are all created and contain good stuff to play with...
