Message: [QUOTE="Jerry Stuckle, post: 4866476"] [URL]http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=php+exec+background[/URL] Lots of hits show how you run programs in the background from PHP. How to do it is system specific, though, and you must redirect stdout. For instance in Linux, you might do exec("/usr/bin/perl /home/mydir/perlscript > /dev/null &"); Not reliably. flush() and ob_flush() clear the PHP buffers, but you can't force the data to be sent from the web server. The only way to ensure the data is sent is for the script to end. -- ================== Remove the "x" from my email address Jerry Stuckle JDS Computer Training Corp.
