When you fork, you get two exact copies of the same process with only one difference. The value returned from pcntl_fork(). As for the child processes finishing in the background....I'm not sure. The entire process may not be able to finish unless the child is finished OR the child may just exit when the parent does (when the user clicks stop) OR the web browser may look like it's still loading but the main page will be done. I would suggest doing a test. -- paperCrane --Justin Patrin-- -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
