launch an independant process

[pch]

Hello list,

I would like to launch a process (a long one: ftp, a lot of data to
check, a lot of time to do) from a page but do not want the end of the
process to return to the page.

I notice the pcntl_fork function, but need to rebuild PHP and Apache...

Does anyone knows another way to do this ?

Thanks a lot in advance for your help.
Philippe

$cmd="/long/running/script";
`echo $cmd | at now`;

What about this? Just suggestion.

/* client is redirected and script continues with execution */
ignore_user_abo rt(true);
header("Locatio n: /back.php");

Does this work in PHP ? If yes, it has no effect for me...

as far as I could see, the script is interrupted... to go to the
location stuff.

No, it works OUTSIDE of PHP - that's rather the point.
