php background process in windows environment

Question

am using windows-7 OS and wamp server. i have 2 php files trigger.php,background.php. i want to run background.php in background .i have to call this file from trigger.php

Answer 1

function execInBackground($cmd) { 
    if (substr(php_uname(), 0, 7) == "Windows"){ 
        pclose(popen("start /B ". $cmd, "r"));  
    } 
    else { 
        exec($cmd . " > /dev/null &");   
    } 
}

in this case your $cmd would be "php C:/wamp/www/path/to/background.php"
