The best thing to do, imho, is to have the PHP script queue up something in a datbase, text file, or staging directory. Then a cron job (or "Scheduled Task" in Windows) can run through the queue, file, or directory, and process the items, totally independent of the browser script. It's a lot less effort than it sounds like, and de-coupling the "request" for the task to be done completely from doing the task simplifies things, in the long run. -- Some people have a "gift" link here.
