executing external php script

hi! what I want to do is execute php script and don't wait for output. found something like this ------------------------------------------------------------- <?php php /var/www/secend.php >> /dev/null 2>&1 &; ?> <html> <body> text </body> </html> ------------------------------------------------------------- it works but I 'm curious about php syntax ,is it correct way to do that? or maybe there is better solution. Thanks for any advice. Best regards, Albert
