Execute multiple scripts

[sp0rk]

The question in a nutshell: is there a halfway decent way to start several php-scripts from within a "master" script?

The obvious answer is exec("c:/php/php.exe -switches somescript.php"); , but there's a twist. I'd like a second script to execute without waiting for the first one to finish, and a third one without waiting for the two previous, and so on. Can this be done?

I'm using windows xp and apache 1.3 with php 4.2.3 as a module. Any help much appreciated.

Hi,

under Unix you just need to add a '&' at the end, like that :
exec ("myscript.php &"); and be carefull about redirecting
output ; but under Windows I don't know if the '&' trick
will work ?
