continue execution

Anon

I'm looking for a way to execute several time consuming PHP commands without the need for the user to wait until the entire script is finished. So I'd like to know if it's possible to send an end-of-document to the user but not the end of the script. These commands do not produce any output normally) so there's no need for the user to wait for them. Can this be done somehow?

Cheers,
Bob.

I know this can be done with JavaScript.

function StartPage()
{
//do some code
doSecoundFunction();
}

doSecoundFunction()
{
//do some code
}
