hi
i'm running apache 2.0.43 and php4.2.3 on win2k. what i need to do in my php
script is to start some windows executable. but as it's taking quite a bit
until it terminates i want php to continue without waiting for it. i tried
lots of stuff but nothing worked and i'm quite desperate now. is there any
way or am i trying in vain ?
thx,
patrick
