It is impossible. "system()" is not asynchronous. Only a command that is executed in "system()" can by asynchronous - system() finishes but the command continues work on the server. If you need some results of the command system(<COMMAND>) has to return a handle point that you could use at the end of the page. -- Krzysztof Dziekiewicz -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
