Hey guys, my google-fu is failing me today so I thought I would turn
to the brilliant minds of the NYPHP.
What I'd like to do is be able to execute a php script in the
background that does NOT impact the load time of the page itself.
Something that runs in the background and doesn't tie up the web
server. Does that make sense? Do any of you have any idea how one
would accomplish this?
Fork off a php process and let it run separately. I think Synder, Hans
Z and Hendry were doing this for a app a couple of years ago with some
success. When the forked process is done it calls the original script
and reports. But you have to be conscious of garbage processes.
