note 16431 added to function.exec

I'm having problems with the old child process waiting until finished - but the difference to all above examples is that I'm coding on a Win32 platform. I've tried exec, passthru, system etc - but all give the same problem. I'm trying to run a PHP script from the command line with some output, executing a program in another window, and then some more stuff in the script: Basic code: <?php # Some stuff here print "Running: $myProg\n"; system ($myProg); # Rest of stuff here ?> I can't use the Linux code to put it in the background... anyone got any ideas? Cheers!
