How to execute a script in background using exec() from php script

[ksn2007]

Hi All,
I have to run a shell script from my php script and while shell script is running I have to do some other tasks in my php script.To run the shell script I am using
exec("sh myscript.sh &");
The Next line in my php script got executed after the shell script completes its execution. I want the next line of my script got eecuted as soon as i start shell script.
Please suggest me how can I run the shell script in background so that as soon as the shell script starts the exec command comes out.
Thanks
KSN

I think you need to use passthru() instead of exec()
