-----Original Message----- From: Jason Rennie [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, February 08, 2002 3:14 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Execing problems Hi all, I have a seperate perl script that I need to start running from a php script. The script does a fork into the backgroup and exits. when i do an exec("funky script stuff here"); The page just hangs trying to load again, apparently after I call the exec. I've also tried exec("script stuff &") but it does the same thing. Any ideas anybody ?
