You mean - you want a second thread to run independently of your current
"running" script? A wonderful thing to do and helpful for long intenesive
processes but do you really want to go thru the hassles of managing two
processes? Won't you have to verify the results of your offshoot and react
to unexpected circumstances? Otherwise, what are you doing that would not
require such complex management?

Having an OpenBSD server I use a thing called nohup.
I have a shell script that starts/stops things for me
nohup /usr/bin/ssh -2 -N -f -L $L_IP:$L_PORT:$R_IP:$R_PORT
root@localhost 1>/dev/null
This starts a ssh tunnel port forwarding for me with a from and to port
assignment.
But, one crucial thing you haven't told us is what OS you are trying to
do this on.

Wow, that's really getting complex. All I want is for a php script to
get launched and the calling script to return immediately. I don't
necessarily have to know or care when the called script ends, just
want the user to get an immediate return instead of waiting around for
the lengthy script to run. I'm not talking AJAX or anything like that
where the page depends on the eventual output from the called script.

In my experience it's best to separate the processes and pass jobs to be done
via a database, IPC, socket or other mechanism from the HTTP handler to the
offline process. I use a job queueing system to accomplish this in most of my
projects, where I can either schedule a repeating job or queue one-off jobs
when needed. I wrote a post on my blog a little while ago describing that
system...

> How do I launch a php script from another running php script asynchronously?
I'm a windows user. One of the things I wanted to to was to create
non-blocking process which I could communicate with using PHP.
I use pecl/wincache to allow me to read/write data (can't use the
pipes as these are blocking and no support for non-blocking).
I also use ...
$WshShell = new COM("WScript.Shell");
$oExec = $WshShell->Run(...);
To create a new instance of a non blocking PHP script.
By using ...
$appID = ini_get('wincache.setappid');
I can supply do something like this ...
$s_Task = "C:\\PHP5\\php.exe -d wincache.setappid={$appID} -f " ....
to set the appid for the new instance, so it can communicate with this
instance via wincache.
All because there is no IPC in php for windows natively.
And it works for me really well.
I use pecl/win32service to create slow/long running tasks which have a
task controller controlling the work load.
I think I've re-invented a form of gearman in this work, but it works for me.
If you are on Windows and just want to get a script to run and really
don't care about when/how it ends, then
$WshShell = new COM("WScript.Shell");
$WshShell->Run("C:\\PHP5\\php-win.exe -f C:\\Scripts\\script.php", 0, false);
This will create an invisible non-blocking "thread" and return
immediately upon creating the "thread".

I couldn't see anything in RFC2046, section 5.1.4, to suggest that
multipart/alternative *requires* that there be more than one part. And why does
it matter, anyway?

Another possible solution could be:
$ary = explode('://', $url);
if (1 >= count($ary)) {
echo 'No schema specified!';
} else {
// Schema specified.
// $ary[0] is the protocol
$allowed = array('http', 'https');
if (FALSE == in_array($ary[0], $allowed) {
// Protocol not valid!
exit(1); // or return FALSE; whatever...
}
// $ary[1] is the uri, validate with filter_var().
}
Hope this helps.

I haven't used a goto since I stopped writing FORTRAN in 1978.

Any ideas from anyone?
FWIW, the setup works on another server but doesn't work on this
server. The upload_max_filesize, post_max_size and memory_limit are the
same on both servers.
Both are PHP Version 5.2.6-1+lenny9

Memory the same size on both machines? The error message you gave was certainly
one of being 'out of resources' rather than hitting the file size limits ...

I'd check for other differences in the phpinfo() output.
Anything that is different should be examined and verified as being appropriate.
