If you're on a unix system, you can throw it into the background process
like this:
<?php
print "starting a background job";
`/somewhere/out/of/the/www/tree/backgroundscript.php $yourparameters >
/dev/null &`;
print "it's probably still running, but we're done here";
?>

I'm confused.
Which function for calling a command line script doesn't make your
script stop and wait?
I want to make a web interface which triggers a command-line PHP
script that takes like 30 minutes to run, but I don't want the browser
sitting there waiting for it.
I thought I did it right, but now the first time I run it for real,
it's hanging.
Cheers,
Marc
