What RDBMS are you using? If you are using Postgres you can use pg_send_query() which is non-blocking. I don't think the other database backends/php drivers support such functionality, but I could be wrong... Maybe someone else knows of another way to accomplish this with the other backends... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
