Runnning a process in background
Hello everyone, i need to run a process in background
as a separate thread, and check the status of that
thread every one in a while. It is possible to do
this?

I think cronjobs are what you are looking for.
Google for information about then ins and outs.
Good luck

You can use the PHP extension PCNTL, however, it`s tricky to talk to
different threads. You have to using SHMOP or something along those
lines of communicating. I`m sure you can manufacture an alternate
communication route, there`s just no native way to talk to threads (as
far as I know, if someone knows I`d really be interested). A side note,
PCNTL is command line only, useful in a daemon situation. If you`re in
an apache environment you`re out of luck unfortunately.
Thank you,
Ryan Sexton

Runnning a process in background
Hi, cronjobs will do the trik but it does not solve my
problem because this job has to be trigger by the user
and i have no control over the OS. So the only thing
that i came up was to call the exec function with this
command:
exec ("php myPhpScript.php &");
Using the "&" i can make it to run in background but
this is only in linux/unix enviroments. As i said
before i have no control over the OS.
The things is i have to send a newsletter but every
email that is send is diferent so the process takes a
long time to finish. That is why i need a diferent
thread.
Anyone has an idea to solve this?
Thanks
Rodrigo.
