Is it possible for a PHP script to trigger a slow-running event but then return before the event has completed, not caring about the outcome of that event?
If so, how?
Many thanks!
System program execution
the 'event' will need to be another php script or server command.
Thanks.
But if my hosting company have blocked the use of this command for 'security reasons', is there an alternative?
the only alternative i can think of is a cron job, which may or may not be able to do what you want. If it was me i would just move hosts, there are millions of them.
