Spawn new process from within PHP

[Anon]

Hi,

I am running PHP as a cgi, not apache module.
When i do a exec("/usr/local/bin/php -q dump.php");

it runs the file but my script hangs until it is finished, how do i start it and immediately get back to my script?

put a '&' after the command

exec("/usr/local/bin/php -q dump.php &");

Hi,

Yea, tried that, but the calling script still waits for the called to finish before it moves on to the next line.

Strange...
