note 70429 added to function.proc-open

The best way on windows to open a process then to let the php script continue is to call your process with the start command then to kill the "start" process and let your program run. <? $descriptorspec = array( 0 => array("pipe", "r"), // stdin 1 => array("pipe", "w"), // stdout 2 => array("pipe", "w") // stderr ); $process = proc_open('start notepad.exe', $descriptorspec, $pipes); sleep(1); proc_close($process); ?> The start command will be called then open notepad, after 1 second the "start" command will be killed but the notepad will still opened and your php script can continue! ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 66.48.31.22 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.proc-open.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/70429 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70429/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70429/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70429/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70429/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70429/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70429/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70429 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/70429 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
