Hi, I am trying to write a script which will avoid browser timeout problem and in that process I have created 2 files FILE1.php: set_time_out(1); echo shell_exec("/usr/local/bin/php -f FILE2.php &"); FILE2.php: @mail($to,$sub,$msg); sleep(60); @mail($to,$sub,$msg); I run File1.php thr' browser and I get 2 emails 1 min apart. But browser does not timeout and PHP also does not throw error about timeout even if I have specified time limit to 1sec. Is there any explanation to this behaviour? Thanks in adv. SP
