and exec/shell (but that doesn't seem to be asynchronous), but neither seems optimal.It can be if you redirect the output streams and put an ampersand after it: <?php
exec('sleep 5 > /dev/null 2>/dev/null &');
echo 'Script ended';
?>
This tiny sample should end immediately, and the sleep command should run on regardless.
