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

Maybe you'll need to add " >/dev/null &" at the end of your execution command. Adding this will put your script to background and php wouldn't wait for this script end before terminate http process (=> no browser timeout). For example : exec("/logiciel/php/bin/php /tmp/toto.php >/dev/null &"); Cordialement, Jean-Philippe BENARD Consultant STERIA Infogérance (jean-philippe.benard-renexter@renault.com) -----Message d'origine----- De : Victor Spång Arthursson [mailto:scooterbabe@home.se] Envoyé : lundi 22 septembre 2003 14:16 À : php-general@lists.php.net Objet : [PHP] Start php-script with exec()? 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… Sincerely Victor -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
