RE: [PHP] Start php-script with exec()?

[snip] Is it possible? I have a file that takes 5 minutes to run, and I would like to be able to start it when loading a page. But I can't include it because it forces the browser to timeout... exec("script.php") doesn't seem to work... [/snip] exec needs a little more information, and will the exec'd script need to return information to the browser? exec("php script.php"); will run the script.
