It's quite easy with PHP as well, even though we do not have forking.
Either use exec("nohup c-program") to detach the program, and return control
back to the script, or execute it via a shutdown function. That way, the
program gets executed after the script has finished.
PEAR offers an abstraction for executing system commands. Look for CMD.php
