Hey ho,
Does any body know if I can relinquish control of a script so that it keeps on processing on the server side BUT releasing control from the client side.
My problem is that the job would take quite a while and I want to be able to fire it off from a session, a program would then process on the server but it musn't tie up the client side.
The client-side session could then monitor the progress by viewing a table - (So that wouldnt be a problem), it is just how on earth could I release control to the server?
Has any body done anything else like this?
Any ideas very welcome - which ever street you live on,
Thanx

I could write a background program running on the server and tie in processing to the output from that but I wanted to keep it to PHP thus keeping the stuff I am writing platform UN_specific.
