Is it possible to pcntl_fork() withing a class? Basically I want a web page to load, and when the class is called in the page, it can fork and the child can run, allowing the webpage to finish, but the class process can continue 'till it's done. Is this possible? Would I put the fork in the constructor? Would calling the class methods after it forked work the same way?

You can fork processes from anywhere in your scripts including from classes as you may see in this class. I just doubt that you the forked processes outlive the current request.
