run script in background

[KryptoS]

Hello,

How can I execute a script in the background. I don't want to wait until it's finished.

I tried passthru("myscript.php"). I worked, but I still need to wait until the script is finished before I can work on...

any help would be appriciated.

Hi

Doh. I thought you already done the obvious. Add an ampersand ( & ) after the command :

passthru("/usr/local/bin/php /home/admin/domains/myweb/app/jobs/script.php > /dev/null 2> /dev/null [red]&[/red]");

Just to make it complete...

any idea how I could do this on a windows server?

passthru("c:\wamp\php\php.exe c:\wamp\

http://www\app\jobs\script.php");
