Re: forking processes

Jason, I have recently read about another quite useful way to do what you want: create a separate php script file the purpose of which is to do the actual mail sending. From your main PHP script on the website, use system() [see documentation] to call that script and let that script process the mail sending in the background. Your user won't have any feedback about the mail sending process, but you could design a system that logs the process information to a file or database, and display that information once the sending is done.
