This isnt exactly what your looking for, Im sure of it, but it works for me
in the past. If you have a page that does something like email 1000
shareholders about a new press release, this takes some time. You dont need
to sit here for 30min to wait for the page to finnish.
<?
//-email.php-
exec("php -q email_press.php &");
?>
<?
//-email_press.php-
for($c = 0; $c < 1000; $c++)
{
mail(...);
}
?>
send your web client to email.php and that will call email_press.php wich is
now running in the backgound. not at all like forking a process, but it
works.
