You mean - you want a second thread to run independently of your current "running" script?

Won't you have to verify the results of your offshoot and react to unexpected circumstances? Otherwise, what are you doing that would not require such complex management? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
