PHP triggers web and logic at the same time

Question

I want to send a web page to the browser. At the same time, it will run another php script in the server without affecting the browser web page.

Is there any way to achieve this by php and jquery only?

ps1 My script is a heavy task, so I am not sure if it will delay the web page sending or not.

Answer 1

i would do it like this

exec("nohup php otherphpscript.php  >/dev/null 2>&1 &");
