I am running a WIMP configuration and I want to use exec() to call mysql.exe via my PHP script to run a big sql script in the background. The PHP script executes the sql script via mysql.exe but my PHP script hangs until the mysql process has finished. Does anybody know how I can run the exec() command totally in the background on a WIMP system ? (I tried a lot with "2>1&" and "cmd/c" etc.)
