Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Due to the volume of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not a bug. The support channels will be able to provide an explanation for you. Thank you for your interest in PHP. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-04-10 10:37:01] saveweb at inwind dot it Description: ------------ I want to start a php script in background. I have a page that starts the php-win.exe passing parameters and it must not wait for the result. example: exec ("c:/php/php-win.exe test.php") where test.php is the script that must run in background. I want that my start page does not wait the execution of php-win.exe. I made a lot of tests using exec, system, shell_exec etc and changing parameters. examples: exec ("c:/php/php-win.exe test.php &"); exec ("c:/php/php-win.exe test.php > out"); exec ("c:/php/php-win.exe test.php 1> out 2>out &"); exec ("start c:/php/php-win.exe test.php > out"); etc. etc. but nothing. 2 strange things: 1) in the past using php4 it worked fine. 2) if i try to start another command (not php-win.exe) it works fine (example: exec("test.exe &")): the process starts in background and the page doesn't wait. Expected result: ---------------- expected result: the php script starts and run in background the page doesn't wait the end of php-win.exe Actual result: -------------- The start page waits until the script ends ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=44682&edit=1
