Run a PHP script in the background while using WAMP server in the local mechine

[nayanjyotionline]

Hi,

 

I have a mail script to that will take a long time to process, let me call it form2.php

 

Now I post from form1.php to form2.php.

 

I like to run/execute the form2.php in the background so that the user will not wait for the time executing the form2.php.

 

I have used exec and shell_exec but not success.

 

I am using latest WAMP server in my local mechine.

 

Thanks

what kind of data are you processing in the form? unless it's a large amount of data (movies, large files etc) there will be minimal waiting time.

you can use ajax to post the form and then display a loading image and return a response when the server has finished executing the PHP script.

I have to send 100 of email in that page. So that user should not wait for the time while mail has been send.

how are you sending these mails? have a look around at some of the mass mailing / bulk emailing classes.

 

you can set up a cronjob to send the emails at a later time.

 

there are plenty of mass-mailing articles & resources on the web, google is your friend.

I just upload some CSV file of data to upload and have to send the mails to the users.

Do not concentrate why to send mails Please give me a solution.

After upload the files the email id are save in the DB and after that I have send mail to all of them.

Please Suggest
