You can launch a non-blocking process in Windows using PHP. I do this a lot. <?php $o_Shell = new COM('WScript.Shell'); $o_Shell->Run('C:\\PHP5\\php-win.exe -f script.php -- script_params_would_go_here', 0, False); // This script can now continue and script.php will be running in parallel. ?> I use WinCache's Ucache to pass data between the multiple "threads". Now, use the PECL extension Win32Service, and you can use PHP for Windows Services, multi-threaded with inter-thread communication. If you feel mad enough. Regards, Richard.
