How to run the PHP code asynchronous

Question

How can I run PHP code asynchronously without waiting? I have a long run (almost infinite) that should run while server starts and should process asynchronously without wait

thanks Todd Chaffee but it is not working for me so i edited your code i hope you will not mind and may be it will also help others with this technique

cornjobpage.php //mainpage

     


         &$val) {
              if (is_array($val)) $val = implode(',', $val);
                $post_params[] = $key.'='.urlencode($val);  
            }
            $post_string = implode('&', $post_params);

            $parts=parse_url($url);

            $fp = fsockopen($parts['host'],
                isset($parts['port'])?$parts['port']:80,
                $errno, $errstr, 30);

            $out = "GET ".$parts['path']."?$post_string"." HTTP/1.1\r\n";//you can use POST instead of GET if you like
            $out.= "Host: ".$parts['host']."\r\n";
            $out.= "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n";
            $out.= "Content-Length: ".strlen($post_string)."\r\n";
            $out.= "Connection: Close\r\n\r\n";
            fwrite($fp, $out);
            fclose($fp);
        }
        ?>

testpage.php

     testValue
    ?>
