note 85080 added to function.exec

The above note that says: Note: If a program is started with this function, in order for it to continue running in the background, the output of the program must be redirected to a file or another output stream. Failing to do so will cause PHP to hang until the execution of the program ends. This Note is missing an important part of it, if you do the redirect only as <?php exec("/php/bin/php file.php >/dev/null"); ?> php still hangs till the execution of that file is done. to make it work as a background process, you need to add &#038; <?php exec("/php/bin/php file.php >/dev/null &#038;"); ?> ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 63.249.96.242 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.exec.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/85080 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85080/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85080/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85080/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85080/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85080/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85080/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85080 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/85080 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
